Services and Suppliers

These are the suppliers I have used to supply parts, services and tools used to do all the work on Sasha.

Sweethedges Farm

I have been friends with the owners for decades, this place is just a gem. Close to the border with Rutland this is one of the prettiest places in Leicestershire. Sweethedges Farm has a B&B, fishing lake, small caravan park and tea shop/restaurant. The food is always good, and the staff are wonderful.

This place is a must!!

Paul Preston Mini Restoration

I have known Paul Preston for many years, great guy, the standard of his work is second to none.

Minipreservation.com

This supplier has been used to supply some specialist tools, including roll pin extractor (to remove the roll in from the remote selector shaft) and windscreen fillet strip insertion tool.

Screwfix

I have purchased hand tools, power tools and consumables from Screwfix, great supplier usually have what I need on the shelf.

Halfords

Consumables, including spray paint and tool have been purchased from Halfords, they are a good supplier but I only usually use them if they are cheaper than elsewhere for the same product or they are the only shop open.

HAMS

This place is a gold mine, it’s one of those places that you have to go to just to have a look round. I have been using HAMS for many years, their service is second to none, with the friendliest and most helpful staff you could ask for.

Parkers

Automotive parts supplier, I generally use the Market Harborough branch. I am able to get welding gas from parkers, I also buy parts and tools here too.

Mini Sport

Nothing needs to be said about Mini Sport, one of the premier Classic Mini parts specialists, good and very helpful staff always ready to offer assistance and guidance. Lots of parts ordered from here.

Mini Spares Centre

Another premier Classic Mini parts supplier, great staff and good service, always ready to help. Many parts ordered from them.

Somerford Mini Ltd

Premier Classic Mini parts supplier, great staff and good service, always ready to help. Many parts mail ordered from them and picked up from shows.

All Vehicle Parts (AVP)

Local automotive parts supplier, I generally use AVP for tools, small items and consumables, they keep a wide range of things in stock and they are very helpful.

DSN Classics

We used DSN to procure  some of the body panels, for some things they were more cost effective than other suppliers.

Razortops

I had been looking for a supplier to source a replacement top for the Webasto roof ever since I bought Sasha, I found Razortops on eBay. I made contact with them and they have been very helpful. They do a replacement top in PVC and cloth, I have opted fot the PVC top to keep Sasha looking a bit more original. I will have to see what the replacement top is like when it arrives.

Phoenix Seals

Phoenix seals are extremely knowledgeable about any sort of window or door type seal, they are very very helpful and the quality of their products are second to none, most of their seals are better than factory/genuine ones.

Mini Trimmings

I found Mini Trimmings at one of the shows a few years ago,  I contacted them recently while trying to locate some vinyl to repair the drivers' seat in Sasha, after a number of samples they came up trumps where all others have failed. Where other trimmers failed Mini Trimmings have succeded and the quality of their work is very good.
