Victoria British (aka Vickie Brit, aka Sunbeam Spares
PO Box 14991
11567 W 83rd Terrace
Lenexa, KS 66215
Orders: 800-255-0088
913 541-8500
I've dealt with these folks on a few orders, prefer Moss or TRF. But
where else can you get a Turbo Whaletail spoiler for your Spitfire? These
folks also do business as Sunbeam Spares, and carry MG, Austin-Healey and
Datsun Z parts. Catalog is free.
(I have gotten a few knickknacks from them , too. Sometimes they are
cheaper than Moss. Their Spridget catalog has very good exploded
drawings. - Phil Ethier)
For those interested in stainless exhaust systems, I purchased a Falcon
system for my Alpine from Vicky Brit and have found it to be of very high
quality. All the pieces fit perfectly, making it very easy to install.

London Stainless
from the TE/AE newsletter: "An unhappy restoration experience was shared
by Jim Armstrong. As he reports: '$500 down the tubes due to promises
unkept, bad quality and bad information.' Basically he saw an ad for
stainless steel exhaust systems from London Stainless in CLASSIC CARS and
ordered same for his Tiger. His letter to the Editor of CLASSIC CARS
explains his allegations in detail -- incorrect customs info supplied by
the advertiser, very poor fit of the system (costing almost $400 to refit
and HeliArc) -- and his futile attempts to rectify the situation.
Conclusion: let the buyer beware, especially when purchasing and
importing from another country -- it's not like exchanging that Christmas
tie from dear old Auntie."
