I just received a victoria british catalog, looks like everything I could need for my 7 is located within the catalog, with some exceptions of course.

Still, I'm reluctant to mail order car parts that I'm unable to look at, hold, possibly even test, before purchasing.

Has anyone ordered parts from victoria british?

If so, how was the quality of the hardware?

Were you satisfied with the quality of what you had ordered.

Thanks for any info, suggestions, descritpions, steel cage strippers, etc.

My friend ordered some stuff... I think some rubber stoppers or something... He got them w/o problems...

 

I've ordered a couple of odd trim parts that were not available through Mazda (discontinued, could not even backorder), such as the sunroof trim seal, and some windshield molding inserts. When the parts arrived I was surprised they were actually factory Mazda parts, although VB sells lots of aftermarket items also.

Their service is good, but no website ordering. Also, they aren't the least expensive source for many items, so it pays to shop around. For example, tokico illumina front struts VB charges 139.95 each, while Shox.com sells two for $230.00.

good luck

 

I've tried ordering the catalog from the website a few times, but it's never arrived

 

Yes, the are a good outfit. I have actually been to their shop in Lenexa. I have been very satisfied, but I also second branca's opinion they are not always the cheapest.

I just got that catalog today. I wonder where they find their cover cars.

I've never ordered anything from them, not yet. But they do have alot of hard to find stuff that I can see myself needing

 

Hey Suparslinc, how long did it take for the catalog to arrive?

 

I've ordered exhaust system parts in the past from them for my MG and other things as well. I've found them to be correct, bolt right up, gaskets etc. were all there....Good company to deal with, only as previously stated, can be a wee bit pricey.....But good folks. Of course, the sports car crowd around here can't resist calling them "Victoria's British Secret."

A tip of the Stetson,
Denny, from the 'ol corncrib....

 

I also second the common opinion on here. VB is all and all a good source for parts. I've been in their shop dozens of times, both for my 7, and back when my dad had a Tr6. I would be interested to know what supplier they order stuff from, because they are strictly a reseller... As such, it would be strange to think that they are the only source for some parts.

 

Thanks for the info people. Its apprecaited. Thinking of ordering a complete carpet kit for my 7, amongst other stuff.

Not long at all Denny. I ordered it when VaughnC posted the link in the lounge; about 2 weeks ago I guess?

Oh, if you look at the inside cover, it explains where the car came from. Its owned by someone in Nebraska. I wonder if he is on the forum?

 

IF you look on their covers, the cars are all digitally doctored versions of the same. They'll cange the color of the car and place it at an airport of something different for each catalog.

 

The last VB I have is from 1996, do you think they will honor the prices I have? I figure that thier '96 prices would put them about equal with everyone else.

 

Uhhh..... NO!

 

I have recently ordered a brake master cylinder and a couple shift lever boots from them. They are cheaper than Mazda, but not cheap. Quality is good. Watch out for the shipping charges. It cost me almost 12 bucks to have the 2 rubber shift lever boots sent by USPS from the KC area to SW missouri. For less than a pound in a 4 to 6 day time frame thats high IMO.

Just got my VB catalog today, only took 6 days cuz there in KS....lol

 

They have sponsored our race cars for years and are great to work with. I have always disagreed with their shipping as they charge the shipping depending on the cost of the item and not the weight of the box.

 

hambone,
where you at in Topeka?

LOL, they are a okay company. (at least they are local)

I live 15mins from them and only get stuff that i need that instant, other than that I order stuff from somewhere else.

 

just ordered the catalog... lets see how long it takes...

 

I just re-ordered the catalog.

Maybe it'll actually show up this time?

 

LOL! Now you'll get two each time a new catalog is sent out.

I think they come out quarterly or biannually...

 

I hope so!
