Please read the fine print below.
As many readers of my posts will know Precision Sportscar, the company I started in 1979 and devoted 23 years to building up before selling in 2002, has folded.
It is rather sad to see something, to which I had dedicated so much of my life, go under in just six years, but that, I suppose, is the way of the world and so I’m now left with an empty building and substantial inventory of new and used British Sportscar parts to dispose of.
Clearing the 5000 sq. ft. building of 19 years worth of accumulated junk has been quite an undertaking. I managed to fill one 20 cu. yd. dumpster with garbage and another 16 cu. yd. one with scrap metal!! The floors took over a week to clean with a pressure washer and every inch of the walls had to be hand scrubbed 3 times with a stiff brush and strong detergent before the place was presentable. The whole job has taken 4 months but now it is ready to lease.
With that finished it is time to turn my attention to the inventory. Over the last 30 odd years an amazing array of parts for Austin Healeys, MGs and Triumphs has been accumulated but since I sold the business it has not been well maintained and I have decided that there is no option but to do a complete physical inventory of the 6000 odd part numbers.
As I have been working through it I have come across some very interesting and completely useless parts that have been languishing on the shelves, in some cases, for over 25 years.
This week I’ve thrown out a Hillman Husky clutch, several Austin Marina gearbox mounts, and countless parts that, despite many hours of searching through parts books and microfilms, neither I nor my various parts managers have been able to identify.
The inventory at Precision was originally established to support the service and restoration business. This has produced a collection which is somewhat different from that which a retail parts store would have.
We disassembled many rusted out British Sportscars over the years and were very careful to save anything that we felt could be of use some day. For this reason many of the parts that have been stocked are unavailable as reproductions because the demand for them is very low.
We were very careful to stock an absolute minimum of stuff which was readily available from the usual suppliers as these could be readily purchased at any time and it was not good for business to have thousands of dollars wrapped up in that type of inventory.
It is my intention to post listings of everything that is available in the hope that some of it will go to good homes.
Here is the plan.

Here is the plan.
The parts in these lists are all available at the time of posting, however as you will see the quantities are typically very small and they are sold on a first come first served basis.
If it isn’t on the list, I probably don’t have it although it may be worth looking through the list of unprocessed used parts in the link at the bottom of this post.
The inventory is arranged by section and I will be working my way through these sections over the next few months and will post the lists as the work is completed.
Working alone each item takes about 4 minutes on average to dust off, check, price and restock; with over 6000 part numbers I’m looking at about 400 hours of work. I start going cross eyed if I do more than 4 or so hours a day and I’m only able to do this in my spare time so it is going to take a while, be patient.
I will post a message on the Healey newsgroup as each list is posted
THE FINE PRINT
Not everything is new, although most is, but all the used parts are in a condition such that they are ready to be installed and used.
The prices are listed in the last column and should be very competitive.
ALL PRICES ARE IN $US.
The minimum order is $US100 before discounts.
I am offering the following discounts.
$200 - $500 of product 20% discount.
$500 - $1000 of product 30% discount on the complete order.
Over $1000 of product 40% discount on the complete order.
These totals are cumulative so if you have already ordered $500 worth of stuff from the earlier lists, remind me, and everything thereafter is 30% off unless you send a $1000 order after which everything is 40% off, however the $100 minimum still applies.
I’m also open to offers on the lot…
Shipping and handling is extra. (Handling is typically +20% of the shipping charge and covers the cost of picking the parts, packing them and delivering them to the post office).
I can only offer postal service for the present and I do not take charge cards.
I will accept Paypal payments but, I charge a 4% premium because of the outrageously poor exchange rates they offer.
US funds cheques will secure your order until they clear and money orders MUST be INTERNATIONAL MONEY ORDERS, domestic US money orders cannot be cashed in Canada.
