DaveD 13-04-2007, 23:01 there is Rimmer Bros.in Lincoln http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/ ....i think they are the biggest anyway Skatiechik 14-04-2007, 17:53 I have always found Rimmer Bros to be good and very helpful. HThorpe 18-04-2007, 20:04 Thanks,i have just got their catalogue,a bit pricey but useful to know whats available Mutley00 22-04-2007, 20:30 Didn't Vitesses share alot of parts with the Spitfire? So depending on what you need there is the Spitfire Graveyard in the Wicker Arches. steve_m 01-05-2007, 12:56 Slighty OT but Im sure our kid used to use some Vitesse parts in his Europa a lot cheaper than going to a Loads Of Trouble Usually Serious dealer Humperlumper 02-06-2007, 11:07 Triumphland in Doncaster. I don't think they have a web site but you can get their address & phone number from google. Some of the TSSC guys buy from them. Mostly secondhand stuff and restoration projects from what I hear. For mail order / internet there is TRGB based in East Anglia. Livewirex 18-06-2007, 22:06 Try Here in Sheffield http://www.spitfireg1.f9.co.uk/frame.htm. The Spitfire Graveyard Arch 33 Sussex Street Sheffield S4 7YY Not got a Triumph myself but i understand they are OK. Vasquez Rich 05-09-2007, 21:45 Have got stuff from Spitfire Graveyard in the past for my Spitfire. In my experience a decent bunch of people. The Vitesse does share some parts with a Spitfire but not as many as you might think, all the running gear, engine, gearbox etc is very different. Some of the brake parts and engine ancilliaries maybe OK though. get a catalog from Rimmer Bros and that will def tell you what you can and can't use. The Graveyard does deal with the other Triumphs though, depend what he's had in and has got on the ground.
