Having had the need for a small repair to our MGB radiator. I sort advice from MOTORADS Redditch. I found them very helpful, happy to discuss the problem and what they could offer. They did a very efficient job, back in one day, -OK it was a very small repair.
Would certainly use them again.
Contact, Andy Goodread, MOTORADS, Brookhill Works, Windsor Road, Redditch,

M.R.S Classics, Drayton Bassett, Tamworth http://www.mrsclassics.co.uk/MRSClassics.html (sponsor of this site)
M.R.S. Classics specialise in MG work, both mechanical and bodywork. Run by Colin Freeth, they are very particular as to detail and are very knowledgable of all models of classic MGs. They will do exactly what you ask and (as the case was with us) more besides!!

Levo-Artis, York www.levo-artis.com
As mentioned in the March club newsletter, we have been extremely pleased with the ramps we bought from Stuart at Levo Artis and people who have seen our cars on the ramps have bought their own. They make jobs at home so much easier and safer.

Distributor Doctor http://www.distributordoctor.com
Incredibly knowledgeable about all distributor problems - in particular probably the only supplier of red rotor arms which eliminate the earthing problems we have all probably suffered from which leave you stranded on the side of the road! DD is based in Somerset but offers a very reasonable and fast mail order service as well as advice on the phone.
