<div dir="auto">Although I don't have hard numbers, I am thinking the MG/Triumph/Healey business has to stark shrinking sometime. The number of cars out there to be restored is shrinking as the cars get restored/parted out/scrapped. The number of people interested and able to work on and drive them isn't getting any younger. As I have said a few times, at 59, I can count the members in my 150 or so member British car club younger than me on one hand.<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I hope VB does not go away, they are in my backyard relative to Miss and TRF. At one time I could order parts from them in the morning and get them the next day, vs. a working week for Moss or TRF, quite a difference when you are in the middle of a project.

<p>They keep denying they are getting out of the British Car
business, though it has been harder to get much support for local
car shows. <br>

<p>If they do close Victoria British, I suspect most of their
employees would be okay and be transferred the truck division:
