I have dealt with Scarbourough Faire for a couple of years now. Their parts
are generally less expensive than Moss or Victoria British, especially if you
order enough to get trade prices, ( apprimately $385.00). The quality of
their parts is generally higher than Moss or Vicky. Their trim and appearance
parts also tend to resemble the original item more often than the other guys.
They have beautiful leather interiors for an MGA. If you are in a hurry for
your parts, say so....They can be a little slow sometime, especially in the
summer. Also, don't backorder from them, only order if they have the part.
Backorders sometimes take a long time to be filled. If you have any problems,
ask to speak to Cecelia(sp?). If you want original type parts, especially
appearance items, they are the place to go.
