    Interior trim parts for older\classic models

    While searching online just now for bits for my 129 I came across this site: https://www.octoclassic.com/collections/all They seem to have quite a few of the commonly 'breakable' plastic interior parts for SEC's and 129's that they have 3d printed.

    Good independents in far SW Cornwall?

    In the strange new world I now find myself splitting my time more between Exeter and Cornwall. In Exeter I can highly recommend MBS on Marsh Barton Estate as a really good indie for Mercs - especially older models; however I'm now also looking for one in SW Cornwall - any recommendations??
