Before my time, I'm afraid, I bought some bits off him, went up to the Cheshire/Staffs. Border, had some really nice stuff there.

What bits do you need? I am sure there are other on here that can help. If not try Sol in Tottenham he has most E30 parts in stock with a choice of bits.

Same as, always found Chris polite and articulate when
dealing with him. Unlike some of the riff raff here, you know who you are :)

I bought a few bits from him through his website before i joined here. He was very helpful and at the time the only person willing to package my things and post here by royal mail. I emailed him a few times last year for some other stuff but he never replied, just assumed he was finished with the used parts business.
