Tel No 07971 043539.
Chap walks round with mobile phone while you tell him what you want. He has sold 170+ Aces and has good ones in stock. If the breakers raise good money he will start breaking the good ones.
Did not have a working electric curtain switch for me, but gave me a fair price on a pair of door mirrors.

Thanks for that tip Steve. I telephoned and the adverstiser was very helpful. As it happens, I don't urgently want anything for my Masterace at the moment but, I vaguely thought that a spare engine, worked on over the winter, might be a good project. He wants app £470 for an engine and £150 for a 4WD auto box. These are, I think, good prices and if anyone is desperate for an engine, I have not seen one cheaper.

I bought a 4WD wheel & nearly new tyre from this gentleman, a Mr Mike Reynolds. £60 total including shipping which I thought was very fair, especially as BBC spares want £50+ plus shipping plus VAT. Wheel is in excellent condition and tyre as good as he described.
