[Spridgets] Moss Motors to Aquire Victoria British

[Linda Grunthaner]

For me I'm still learning and sorting so the exploded views with images &
part names helps a lot. Which is also why I will always keep my old paper
catalogs. I like AH Spares but it appears they will never show images as it
always says "image coming soon",
