Ed: from my 97-98 marketplace directory they are still listed as ---
GB Sportscars
Stanbridge Rd., Billington,
Leighton Buzzard, Beds
LU7 8JH
phone# 01525 378 078
"Triumphs mainly Spitfires and GT6".
I purchased mine in 1988 so the price of L25.00 plus post may have gone up
somewhat.
Back then I obtained most of my source information from the Triumph Sports
Six Club. Prehaps one of the homeland (British) listers could offer
suggestions on reliable recyclers who may offer quality goods at reasonable
prices.
