Welcome to our October 2009 edition
of the Canley Classics online newsletter !


Welcome to the latest, very much belated on-line newsletter from us here at Canley Classics. A little bird tells me that it's been at least two years since our last effort! Not bad considering I had promised to do one every quarter, oh dear.

The main reason for today's scribble is purely to get back into practice for doing these things, and to see how large the subscribers list has grown too. The next newsletter after this will include some exciting news on the website front, and some equally exciting news about our catalogue (or catalogues, hint, hint).

Let's not get ahead of ourselves though all that is for the next issue, which definitely won't take another two years before it appears.

We haven't been so unproductive in other areas over the preceding two years though, indeed we have developed, and tested many more new products. These sit patiently on the shelf awaiting the launch of the new website before we start serious retailing. You may have had a sneak preview of some of the stuff if you have been out and about on various Club Triumph events in 2008/9.

The select half a dozen or so who test our parts long before we go to market have been flogging their cars all around Europe, and on the tracks to get as many miles as possible under the belt of each and every one of those new parts. However for today I propose to keep things simple and list a few titbits of product news that might interest you.

That's it for now, and certainly not all we have been up to recently, but we will keep some of that news back for the next edition due out soon!

David and all the Team at Canley Classics.

GBS750 Brake Shoes !!

Vitesse/GT6 rear and Herald front drum brakes shoes have been unavailable anywhere in the trade for some months now, but we have just had a delivery in this morning.

Limited stocks so get your order in soon. As a bonus we have managed to squeeze the price down a little as well to £14.20 Inc VAT (remember we always quote including VAT).

Spitfire/GT6 DVD !!

I thought you might want to know about the latest DVD from John Clancy. Called 'CODE NAME BOMB' it's John's best ever yet attempt at tracing the history of a particular Triumph model (TR7 & Stag previously, and available from us).

Includes competition footage, and a ride in a factory rally car! Packed with archive material, interviews with ex-factory personnel.

John visited lots of shows during the course of filming, and as a consequence you may spot your own car in amongst the hundreds of Spitfires, and GT6's shown.

Spitfire MKIV/1500 GT6 MKIII Front & Rear Bumpers !!

WKC2543 Front, and 914698 Rear (MKIV/early 1500, GT6 MKIII), and Rear WKC3954 (1500 late).

The fronts in particular have been out of stock for nearly 6 months. All types now in stock, and on the shelf, but we only had 50 of each type made! The bulk of the stock has now gone out to the trade to satisfy their backorders. If you have been waiting for these from another supplier then you should receive it within the next few days. All our retail orders have been/are being satisfied that might not leave many left over.

The next production run of all types won't be until next summer at the earliest because we have to do all early Spitfire/GT6 bumpers this winter. If you are waiting for one of those then please be patient they should start to come back from the plater/polishers towards the end of November.

GT6 Thermostat Housing part number 212971 !!

Here's another one that's been out of stock for some time (nearly a year). Back in stock, and all retail, and trade orders satisfied (chase your supplier if you haven't received one on back order yet !).

No panic on this one though we have had plenty made this time so we should have stock guaranteed for some months.
