First time I have come across them, and I need a few bits, rings, exhaust valves
exhausts for a 1200 engine, and a 1600 type 3.

Thanks

I've seen his ad in Irish Vintage Scene among the many, many tractors. I'm not sure that his prices are that keen, not the ones highlighted in the ad anyway.

 

[Tim]

I,ve sent him a list of parts I need for the 2 engines, so it will be interesting
to see what prices and parts are like. At least if he carries some sort of stock,
its only down the road.

 

[Aidan]

It'll be interesting to see the quality as well - he has a generic 009 pictured in his ad but hopefully he has quality alternatives. Nice to see another Irish supplier though - shows the strength of the following here

I've dealt with him ,He is very good,and very helpful,
He has a few Beetles himself so he knows what he is talking about.
He spends time listing to what your looking for so he can it right.
No Problems what so ever.

He's a very nice guy. He has mainly being supplying to the industry on a trade basis and not to the general public but his plan is to open his business up to us all. He supplies some of the big names globally with parts and it's incredible to think that a small company in Ireland is doing what he's doing.

Now that's an even better reason to drive down! Thanks.

This is where I got all the bits for Zippy - only delay was sourcing an original oil cooler - which he had to get from germany, and shipping slowed things up. All other items were in stock and I thought prices were fine. BTW....phone before you go - I happened to be in Galway last week and intended calling out, but rang beforehand, thankfully, as no one was manning the shop!
