Have a look through the list attached, there are businesses listed for all the states and you should find what you're after amongst them.

You will struggle to find anyone better than karcraft.

They are wholesalers so are about the cheapest going.

Im in the country and generally get things the next day as long as i order before 2pm.

However if your after original aussie bits and pieces, karcraft wont be able to help to much.

Here is a list of australian mini supliers.

Generally i buy from Karcraft :wink:

Mick - there's 4 pages of Mini suppliers adverts in each issue of TME (see page 20-24 in Issue 25). Do you have time to check and update from there?

I buy most of my parts from the UK, I pay less than what most Aussie suppliers charge and thats with the post charges included. UK Minisport is very good and has a fast turn around.

I'm based near Brisbane and I use MiniMan (Hi Matty!), Mini Automotive (Hi Ken!) & Karcraft.

Karcraft have the best price but you don't get the cool tips & advice from years of experience like you do from Matty & Ken.

cheers

Jacob

I use Lindsay at Minis Plus in outer outer suburbs of Melbourne. 1) because he's a great guy, and 2) because it's an awesome drive out there from Emerald to Gruyere.

www.minis.com.au

I'm sure it would be a fantastic drive from QLD also. But he is very quick with the shipping.

Greetings.
I'm in Adelaide (lucky hey!)

Anyhow, Mini Tec closed about a year ago, &
Morris Mania was shutting down some months back, so that's off the list too.

Cheers
Alex.
