It's worth remembering that as the sterling is quite strong against the Euro, you can save a bit if you're spending a lot of money on parts.

I saved over £200 on the UK price when I bought new front wings from Skandix for my Amazon.

Nordicar also provide a good service... but for smaller bits I'd 100% recommend Brookhouse.

They have a heavy mark up compared to Simon he's better at gd prices but for those odd second hand bits yes rob and Emma have shelves of bits


BUT IF YOU want NEW go brookhouse and get the service and gd prices !!

Seen stuff marked up triple price before and it's not the first time so sadly they price themselves out the water to them in the know !

That's my experience and I have seen and heard tons of owners comment to its very common


I only use for odd second hand bits and anything rally related never go there with a pocket of cash and be talked into shiny parts only buy what ! You ! Need ! For the car !!!,!!,,,,,,,,!,,!,,!!!!!!! First and for most worry about shinny stuff when car is ready and you are ready for them and used for right purpose

Don't buy the air filter mod it hits the master cylinders badly !,,!

Buyers beware and use your thinking cap does your car really need rally spec stuff for road use nope best to keep car in tip top condition is my view far more superior in every shape and form.

Kind regards
Robert.w

I have always found Rob and Emma at amazon cars competitive on their prices,and at least they answer the phone or emails.I have never tried to buy shinny or even shiney parts from them however!I rather lost faith in Simon after a disagreement over rear shock absorber suitability with lowering springs.Dave

Rob is very knowledgeable and helpful and I think its only fair to try to buy from him when the opportunity arises for my various rally projects as his tuning items he has generally made an investment in to get produced and has tried them himself on his own cars

Ever classic car owner soon knows where they can get best prices and best service for whatever they drive and certainly Simon is very good in this regard

I hadn't thought about the currency angle to buy from Europe ,certainly there are some items available over there that one can't source here but I prefer to support Uk based business as without them we would all struggle .

I have always found Simon at Brookhouse good to deal with but getting hold of him on the phone is getting harder and harder.

I do stock some genral items but mainly keep service parts and tuning goodies.

I think Tony is getting out of things now so that just leaves the 3 of use covering the older Volvo's in the UK
