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.

Ken's Mostly British
56 Brydon Drive
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.

JB Precision Engines & Parts (part of JB Group)
3340 Oak
Victoria, BC
(250) 475 2515
Good prices, good service, they have most of the unobscure LBC parts
(filters, brake bits, etc). Some of their pieces were wrong (they gave
me TR6 brake pistons instead of TR4.)
Hunter Classic Sportscars
823 Viewfield
Esquimalt, BC
(250) 383 5173
Operated by Craig Hunter. He's almost never there (out delivering)-- but
he returns his answering machine messages. Sells new or used parts. I
think he's a Moss distributor. Has parts on hand for MG, Triumph (some),
Fiat, etc.
Sports & Classic Cars Ltd
740 Roderick
Victoria, BC
(250) 475 3313
Jaguar dealer. Expensive but service is excellent. I think they
sometimes deal thru Hunter. They used to be the BL outlet. Not for the
faint of chequebook.

Publish monthly "Sportscar Chronicle", a newspaper-style list of parts on
sale and with lots of good technical articles. New and used parts for
TR, MG, and some Jag, AH, Mini, and others. Has on-line ordering through
their website, and mail order service has been excellent - with rarely
any back-orders. Prices - especially on monthly sale items - are very
fair. Website doesn't seem to be updated often enough, though. I
believe they also run a repair shop.
