British MGB Cars
151 Nipissing Road
Milton, Ontario (just west of Toronto)
905 876 4979
Owned by Tom Kane, a gruff sounding old guy but really nice who will do
anything to find something for you. He has a fantastic supply of old and
OEM british parts for all cars: Jag, TR, MG, etc. His shop will do
repairs and restorations to high quality. Located in Milton, Ontario, I
think he gets his new parts sometimes from a company in Victoria, BC.
His prices for new parts can be high, but his used/old parts supply is
fantastic. Open M to F early till late, Saturdays, and sometimes he's
there on a Sunday morning.

My favorite is "The Sports Car Factory" in Kemptville, I would not be
surprised if John Pritchard (owner) is the most knowledgeable/competent
Brit car rebuilder/repairman in North America. 613-989-2171
There's also another, closer to Ottawa:
The Miniman
104 Walgreen Rd.
Carp, ON K0A 1L0
(613) 836-4283
Bristol Motors
629 Chatham
Victoria, BC
(250) 388 5923
Specializes in LBCs. Last time I went there he had a Spit and a TR7 on
the go. I have never had anything done there, but he seemed competent.

Ken's Mostly British

Toronto, ON
M9W 4N5
416 747-6666 fax 416 747-1253
9 to 6 weekdays 10 to 2 Saturday
Another good LBC garage/supplier in Toronto area, Ken services and
supplies parts for all LBC's, also does restorations. He is into vintage
racing - a really nice, helpful fellow. He has a MOSS distributorship, I
believe.
