At least those lost are keeping others on the road. I think most of us running older Migs have parts fitted from several others.
   The Beastie is a proper Hienz 57!!! 8-)

Steve is a really genuine guy & doing Sterling work keeping us supplied with parts so our cars can go on running. Someone elses loss is our collective gain, sad but true  :y

Yeah....................
reckon most of the "surviving" miggy's in five or ten years time will be "bitza's" from donor car parts, mine has already started!

Found his prices a bit high,but does have a good stock of parts,and a valuable source for us lot,especially as our migs become rarer. :)

I must admit, youv'e hit the nail on the head there, Mark.
Prices are possibly a bit high, but postage was genuine, not like some of the rip off artists. And high speed delivery :y
I do worry a bit about availability, but as there seems to be a fair number hitting the breakers, I think we'll be all right for the forseeable future. I am hoping to keep my omega for a few years yet ;)
As I said on another thread, a car is only as good as you are prepared to look after it !!!
