restoration, such as it is, gets accomplished.  A modest supply of used parts,
Triumph only, some new MGB and Triumph stuff available, Weber jets at a good
price, Earl's plumbing and plenty of free advice.  Good advice extra.

Probably the most comprehensive stock of Triumph parts in the country,
reasonably good prices, the service was better when they were smaller.
Still good, though, and the MGB line is expanding.

TR3-6, some Spit, etc.  Mostly a wrecking yard.  I spent more time than
money here the summer I worked at IBM, since I had little money.  Nice place.
Also does repair and restorations as "Classics Too".

Triumph Specialty

Not recommended, assuming a disgruntled customer hasn't torched the place yet.
Was on the BBB's "Watch Out" list when I was in town, [1984!] and is listed
here solely as a warning.  New?, used and some performance parts.  Take a 60
Minutes camera crew with you if you buy anything there.


---------------------------
Triumph Tune
22-28 Manor Road

A nice catalog of performance oriented parts for Triumphs.  Recently purchsed
by Moss Motors, some of their stuff may become more widely available in the
states.

TR Sales,
Fort Worth Tx.
(817)-589-7974

        This is where I bought my 1st TR. They sell & service all kinds
of British cars. You can also mail order parts from them. Their prices
are very reasonable. (ie 164 dollars for a TR-6 carpet set.) I'm pretty
pleased with them.


---------------------------
Very British

(518)-843-1358

Used british car parts. Very reasonable prices. Run by Dave Furiani who buys,
disassembles, stocks, prices, everything himself. Knows quite a bit about
British cars and is willing to give lots of helpful advice. Has parts for TR,
MG, Jag, Rover, TVR, Cortina, and others.

Victoria British

I've dealt with these folks on a few orders, prefer Moss of TRF.  But where
else can you get a Turbo Whaletail spoiler for yuor Spitfire?  These folks
also do business as Sunbeam Spares, and carry MG, Austin Healy and Datsun Z
parts.
