A very Merry Christmas to our customers all over the planet. I will be back at my desk on January 3rd.

 

19/12/2023

So we are all caught up with orders placed whilst I was away. It being Crimbo, there might be some delay in getting your item due to the increased traffick going through Royal Snail.

 

06/12/2023

Further to our being closed from the 11th to the 18th, orders made by 14:00 on the 8th will be posted out that day. Looking ahead to Crimbo, last orders will be going out on the 22nd December.

 

28/11/2023

Couple of things.........

We will be closed from the 11th of December till the 18th of December. Orders can still be placed, but will not be packed/dispatched until the 18th of December.

New P&P pricing is now live.

 

03/10/2023

Just to give you fair warning, we will be increasing our P&P charges later this week. We have not changed them since 2020

But Royal mail has increased their charges on four occasions since then, usually by about 15%

So that's a 60% increase I've swallowed.

Here are the new prices that will come into effect, possibly Friday:

A message for our international customers.....

Due to Royal Mail suspending overseas deliveries due to a Cyber Attack, we have stopped shipping orders overseas.

We will still take the orders and pack them ready for the resumption of services by Royal Mail.

We can ship via UPS if it is urgent and you are willing to pay the difference in P&P. If that is the case for you, place your order as normal then email me asking for a UPS shipping quote.

So I am experimenting with processing, packing and posting orders out during the night. This is

because our electricity day rate has nearly doubled in the last month. The night rate has also

increased but it is slightly less than our old day rate. As such orders made during the day will be

posted the following day (well night, after midnight that is). You can still phone during the day.

OK, I've had a good old re-jig of the price points & charges. Orders over £50.00 will still get free UK P&P and I've discounted the top end European & World Wide cost to make that more equal for our overseas customers. I've put the purple arrows in so you can see that I've discounted the top 4 price points so you in effect get the same treatment as UK customers.

 

24/09/2020

Hello there, we have had to increase our International Delivery Charges after Royal Mail raised them on the 1st of September this year.

It's the first time we are raising the postal prices since we started in 2006. But this price rise from

Royal Mail is significant and we can't take the hit. I might need to tinker with it a bit to get a bigger

spread of Price Points.

easy resto (hark at me!).  Thanks for the pictures Nuno, keep us informed of

your progress and feel free to email any questions.

 

28/04/09

Do you want your car to have historic status even though it's post 1972?

Well, here is a link to another government petition requesting exactly that.

Please sign it, you never know it may go ballistic like the road pricing one and we get what WE want!

30th Jan '07

I will be archiving the customers cars featured on the splash screen so that it loads up a bit quicker.  I've got some interesting Australian cars coming up.  One has a MK2 dash with the petrol tank slung under the boot! She looks good for it though!  Stay tuned.

 

22nd Jan '07

I'm off to Ireland for a few days to collect a car.  I will be back by Saturday I hope.

 

18th Jan '07

I have started adding active buying links to the new parts section.  I am using Paypal, but you don't need a Paypal account to purchase.  It's quick and it's secure.  Have a look!

Here we have a lully looking mex.  One of my first overseas customers was Knut Iverson from the north of Norway.  They are dead serious about our cars over there as this picture will surely testify.  Knut has asked me to acknowledge ALIMAX MOTORSPORT for the production and design of this babe:

The rubber on those FAT rims!  Ooohhhhh, suits you!

Well, the party season is over now till the summer so I will try and give the site a bit more of my time.

It's interesting to see how far flung our cars can be, I am going to be featuring these cars on this splash and the first to grace our page actually is not that far flung but has got to be the rustiest ever! (I know it's a MK2, but hey!) Chris said that there were still some good bits to be had from these 2 lust buckets

Is that a dead tiger in the foreground or some funky seat cover :)

Looks like the strut has popped through on this one and there aint even an engine in

there pushing down!

Thanks to Chris from Hampshire for sending in these photo's  Here's his WIP Mexico:

 

Looking nice Chris, keep up the good work buddy.  He is looking for a wiper arm wind deflector, so if you have one drop me a line and I'll pass on your details.
