Lightbulb Cheaper parts supplier

Hi all



Spent some time with my son at the Melbourne Mini car show last weekend. He took his Cooper 'S' up there with the older mini's.

Whilst there, I took some time looking over all the British spare parts/accessories.

Met Anthony from the Classic and Vintage Bulb Co. who had a stand there.

I was surprised at some of his prices.

The aluminium Bullit mirrors priced at $75 are at least $30 cheaper than most suppliers I have seen. A few of the mirrors and accessories were nearly half the price of the bits I had brought elsewhere.

He had the red, amber taillights with the "E" stamp at only $69.

Headlight rims at $25

The full headlight bucket with adjusters etc. at $45

Number plate lights at $40 etc etc

Mesh headlight guards, dash/interior lights etc etc.

I looked over the variety of switches and bits he had and wished I had known about him earlier.



Maybe worth a call for some additional prices and to check what other stock he has. He told me he is the supplier of "all" of the people we usually buy from - so you can go straight to the supplier for your parts. Ring for a price list.



Good shopping.
