LBCarCo Gift Certificates

Now is the time to get one or more of our gift certificates to present as a gift for the holidays.  If you don't know what to get friend or loved one, then this is the answer.  The LBCarCo Gift Certificate is available in any denominations and is always good (There are no time limits on our gift certificates.)  You can buy one for as little as $5.00 so they are also great for your club exchange parties.  Visit us at www.LBCarCo.com and click on our specials page to find the gift certificates.

New Items this week on our specials page:

Check out our keyfobs on our specials page.  We have added even more of our quality English Leather Fobs with even more Marques as well as more British Bikes.  We even have added a few other Marques that are none British for your shopping convenience.  There are also several new embroidered patches available that you will want for a keepsake or to place on an apparel item, travel bag, or just about anything that you can sew it on to.  We have added more bikes as well as patches for Brands Hatch, Silverstone, Land Rover, Jaguar and more.  We have also added more Marques for our wood and leather English Gear Shift Knobs so have a look as you can't be our low price on this very attractive logo item that every LBC out there will need at one time or another.

 

For the kids (or kid at heart) we now have a really cool Colouring Book.  This book was produced by the MG Car Club of Toronto and really is neat.  There are 32 pages of pictures to colour  as well as pages with production numbers on all the MG produced.  This is a great item to have if you are a collector too.  Priced at only $6.50 you can't miss, even if you don't own and MG ;)!

Does your MG or other LBC have plastic side curtains?  Do they tend to get lots of scratches when you have them stored?  LBCarCo has the solution for you.  We are now carrying vinyl side curtain pouches for your MGA so now you can store your expensive side curtains safely in your trunk or when you put them away for the season.  These pouches will also afford you added protection even if you still want to keep your side curtains in the pouch behind your seats.  We can also special order pouches for any LBC's side curtains just let us know what you need via Email.  You get two pouches with Velcro strips for only $50 for the pair.   This item will also be listed on Monday on our site, but you can see photos of it now on our newspage.

The last new item that we have this week is MG related, but is something really special.  We will have them up on our website on Monday so you must have a look.  You will love these gold MG rings, pendants and earrings.  These are really beautiful custom made items that you will need to allow approx. 3 weeks for delivery so you still have time for the holidays if you hurry and place your order in the next two weeks.  Please see our website on Monday to order yours now.  The 10 karat gold ring is priced at $299.95 and the 14 karat Earring set and Pendant is priced at $99.95 each.  The pendant also comes with a 20 inch 14 karat gold chain.  Please drop us and Email if you have any questions.  Check out the photos on our newspage today.

Holiday Sales Continue

As the traditional Thanksgiving Day rush for gifts in almost upon us you can be assured that we will have most if not all of our Special Page items in stock for immediate delivery right up to the day before the big December Holidays.  We have arranged with DHL Express to provide you with great money saving Next Day Air rates when items are shipped from our office.  So if you get in a bind you can be assured that LBCarCo will be there to help you if at all possible at a very reasonable price.

Please make sure you visit our specials page for the latest from our online catalog.  We will be adding a few more items over the next couple of weeks such as the Kevin Walsh Coasters, Placemats, Brooklands Racing Coaster and MG 75th Anniversary Coasters.  

Right now you can save lots of money on many of our items such as the Octagonal Sale, Specially Reduced Items as well as the LBCarCo/Moss Winter Sale.  But don't forget all our Special Items are priced right all year long so check out our many gift ideas.  We have a full line of Kevin Walsh Prints, Steve Petrosky Prints and Shirts, really neat Thatched Roof Bird Houses, Coasters, Tea/Dish Towels, Books, Keyfobs, Halogen Bulbs (for Safety Sake), Tyre Valve Caps (for all LBC's), Genuine English Made Tops and Tonneaus, Drink Holders, Pertronix Ignitors and Flame Thrower Coils, Marque Coasters, and more...........

Don't forget that you get great savings on all your parts so please visit the Little British Car Co, Ltd, first and order your parts right online with our secure server and $ave!  Don't forget we only charge exact shipping costs and do NOT charge any extra handling fees either.  One other way to save a little on shipping.  If you have an office/business address we might suggest you have it shipped there as UPS does offer lower prices when shipments are delivered to office/business addresses.  This savings can amount from $1.00 to $2.50 per shipment depending where you are located.  Business out of the home are considered residential addresses by UPS.  

Please note:  UPS and DHL will not be delivering items on Thursday and Friday this week other than NDA shipments on Friday.  We also hope that you are receiving a confirmation from our shippers along with a tracking number when your package leaves LBCarCo.  This extra LBCarCo personal service will help you to track your shipments that are shipped from our office.

Many of you have purchased the Clik-Adjust from us to help adjust your valve lash.  This very exacting and time saving tool has been one of our best sellers in only two months on the market here.  LBCarCo is your Gunson Headquarters for these quality shop tools.  We carry in stock for immediate delivery the Clik-Adjust, Trakrite, FlashTest, Carbalancer, Eezibleed, GasTester, 12v Halogen Spotlight, 12v Worklight and all of them are priced at very LOW LBCarCo Pricing.  They also make GREAT GIFT Items at Low Prices!

On the Clik-Adjust front, one of our customers (Rick Astley) has put together a very nice Data Chart for use with the Clik-Adjust, along with detailed instructions and why you should use a Clik-Adjust on how to use it that any layman will be able to follow.  We are also looking for more Data to expand this chart to aid our customers with other LBC's.  If you have a Clik-Adjust please visit this site.  If you have data to contribute we would great appreciate your participation by using the link in the instructions and sending in your data to us.  Once we get this information the data chart will be updated to include it for others to use.  Rick has put together a wonderful Electrical website for our LBC's which you can find on our LBCarCo Links page.  If you have time check it out, you will be amazed at the information that Rick has provide our select community of enthusiasts.  Thanks Rick!!!

Tech Tip!

Our Tech Tip this week is from Bart Hamilton  - Thanks Bart ($20.00 will be credited to your LBCarCo account) Please contact us ASAP for further info.

Want to extend the life of those weak (but marginally functional) lever shock absorbers?  Drain the standard 30 weight oil from the shock (if any is left) and top up with straight STP.  It will get an extra few months (or a year) until you can locate those elusive shocks.
