I was watching a recent episode of Car SOS -the one about the MK1 Cortina GT. The guy on the programme went to a shop where he bought a brand new complete exhaust. It was called something like 'Classic Collectors Shop'. Does anyone know the place? Proper name and address? Better still, has anyone used it?

Possibly COLLECTORS CAR PARTS? A remarkable emporium. In the process of moving, I think.

This is indeed quite an emporium!
Up here in the wilds of Scotland we just don't have places like that.
I have put details in my contacts and will probably make use of them before long.
Thanks for the information.

It's in Heathrow. I've spoken to the guy before and he was extremely helpful although he didn't have what I was after

Agreed, that looked like an amazing place ... maybe a topic for a new thread ....

I've bought quite a bit from Howard over the years, the place really is an Aladdin's cave! Well worth visiting if you're ever in the West London area. He does mail order as well.

Thank you all for the helpful replies. I had visited the web site but hadn't made the connection.

I tried for a long time in vain to find the correct fan belt for my 1950 Commer lorry. When I phoned CCC they were very helpful and the chap said he'd have a look. About 10 mins later I got a call back from him saying he'd found two on the shelf and would I like to take them both! You can guess my answer.
