Hi simon,
Some very good points.
And hedd, like you I have 3 or 4 of the 31 axles in the shed. At the moment I point out to those asking for them. I also have early cars running on them. So want to sort myself a nice one as a spare, before I sell the rest on.
They will go on my own website when ready, it gives everyone the same chance. And they will be less than a grand each as well.
Personally I think we are very well looked after in the 7 world, used parts although not for nothing are still cheaper than other Marks. Most of our restores only charge £25 to £30 per hour. You wont get that at a riley restorer. Or in a modern garage. And although new parts are likely to rise AGAIN, they are still well behind anything else.
Tony.
