For us, here at Mediterranean Classics, the stock is the most important component. In the past the classic car market has been full of so called ‘specialists’, that never have stock, have virtually no knowledge and depend entirely on the supply chain on the UK, which unfortunately from a knowledge point of view is not as good as it used to be. There is therefore the possibility of things going wrong.

At his old company in the UK, Erik had many customers in Europe, America and Australia like this and they do the industry a great deal of harm, especially as in all those countries there are professional companies with fantastic knowledge enthusiasm and commitment. Most of the others all went out of business, although there are still a few that continue. You need to have confidence in your supplier.

At Mediterranean Classics, we will tell you the price and availability here in Tarragona. All prices always include the transport from the UK, but exclude the VAT. The onward transport to the final destination will depend on the size and weight of the parcel, but most small parcels can be sent through the correus and larger ones are usually sent using a selection of carriers depending on the price. Goods sent through the post can be paid for on receipt, goods sent by carrier will usually need to be paid for beforehand, by bank transfer. We are looking into the possibility of taking credit cards at the moment. No additional fee would be charged. Some special order items, i.e. parts not usually kept in stock or relatively obscure would in some cases have to be paid for in advance.

You will not be asked to provide a part number for the part, but a good description is essential to ensure the right part and a chassis number and the year of the vehicle is also essential to ensure that the change points are correct. For example, GMC150 MGB brake master cylinder is always a stock item It fits all MGBs up to 1977. It does not the later dual circuit cars; this item would be special order only. A chassis number and the right question would confirm that the correct one was supplied.

Here, at Mediterranean Classics, we see it as part of our service to get you the right part at a competitive price.
