- I noticed some models of my favorite cars (any British sports car, almost), in the latest Moss Motoring. I ordered them for $29.95. In browsing through the latest (and very nice) Triple C catalogue I

- the is Moss marks up quite a bit of its Automobilia items. I think the item(s) that are most substantially marked up are the reproduction factory dealer signs. Moss makes anywhere from $20 to $10 on

- Jack, I too agree with you that comparison shopping is always important to the consumer. Although looking at price alone is not the sole decision maker...wants, needs, whims, all come into play. Neve

- Gee Jack, You sure do seem to have it in for Moss. My experience in an industry (not auto) where spare parts is a large part of a companies business tells me that if you were marking up ONLY 35% acro

- Nope, they are my major supplier of parts. I just hate to see people taken advantage of. I also think it is self destructive. I don't know if I sent it to the whole list or just as part of a direct

- Right on Dave. I made a tonneau bar for my Healey 2+2 from electrical conduit pipe. Since it is under the cover no one sees it. Works great, and is joined in the middle (the original is not) for easy
