i guess they are not cheep, do you mind if I ask how much you paid?

[Paul Wiginton]

It was over £100, thats all I can remember as it was 10 years ago. I believe they also supply the restoration department at Aston Martin.

Excellent service, i wanted a bespoke loom made for my car to locate the switches beside the driver seat and extra switches and a connector for a flip front. They came to my car and took notes as it's a bit of a mix of mini Mk's. Took measurements to the areas that were not standard. For the service I got, it was value for money, but worth it as electrical items are not my speciality, epecially with all the extra items and no worries with anythibg not working.

Highly recommend them.

I ordered a harness for my 1275GT restoration last December (before the VAT increased).

At the time, they only had the 'main' harness available.

Now I am putting the car together I needed to order the rear of the harness - I noticed that Auto Sparks now had a complete harness and asked them the part number and price of the part I had missing.

Much to my surprise and delight they sent me the missing part free of charge "as they now included it".

Excellent service which I feel deserves a mention.

Yes I noticed that when pricing up for the mk1
