SC Parts Group
I just received an order of Big Healey parts from SC Parts Group
in England. They say they handle parts for Healeys, Jaguars and
Rovers. The stuff I got was moderately heavy (floors, sills plus
some smaller items) so the shipping was relatively expensive.
Even so, it was a pretty good deal! Note the comparative prices
for a few items (I've converted British Pounds to U.S. Dollars
at an exchange rate of $1.50 per Pound - a fairly close
approximation):
Item Vic Brit Moss SC Parts
---------- -------- -------- --------
Floor Panel $60 $66 $16.50
Inner Sill $30 $44.50 $9
Speedo Right Angle Drive $94.50 $100 $60
Bump Stop Rebound $13 $13 $4.50
On smaller items the difference decreases, of course, and as I
mentioned -- shipping is expensive! My order totalled about
$200, and shipping was another $100 !! Even so, it was still
cheaper and I got it only twelve days after I Fax'd my order in.
My conclusion - When buying large or expensive items for which
I am not desperate I'll use SC Parts Group again. The floor
panels did have a few bent corners after traveling halfway
around the globe, nothing a few taps with a hammer won't fix
easily. Everything else looks good. They take VISA, and it
makes dealing with currency exchange pretty easy, since VISA
just bills at whatever the rate is the day the charge hits.
Their mailing address, for catalog requests, is:
SC Parts Group
Unit 14, Oakwood Industrial Park,
Gatwick Road,
Crawley, Sussex RH10 2AZ
England
The usual disclaimers apply, I've got no financial interest,
YMMV, etc.
P.S. They've got a few nifty competition parts for Big Healeys!
P.P.S. I got a shipment in recently from V.B. and some of the
items had stickers on them with part numbers from SC Parts.
