Does anyone happen to know please, has Paul Beck ceased trading??

I find it currently impossible to access on-line either " The Complete Automobilist" or "Vintage car parts"

Both sites opening for me Ian, granted both are a bit slow to load - but I've noticed that generally over the past couple of days with the internet.

Hi Ian,
Both sites working well for me !
But it does say that they are closed for the Christmas period and will reopen on the 6th of this of this month.

Thanks chaps; it appears that IE8 (the most up-to-date that I can run with this obsolete Windows XP PC) cannot accomodate either of the 2 websites, as it used to do. Searching in Firefox finds both, as you suggested.

Ian try Firefox I'm sure it will be OK with XP.

Paul Beck and the Complete Automobilist are somehow related - although one was for sale last year.
Stock seems similar.

Hi Tony, my understanding is that both companies have become the same company whilst continuing to trade under the two different names, they share the same address and both are run by Paul Beck.

Thanks Ian. I have bought from both in the past.
Their reproduction Lucas AT 201 tail lights are not too bad especially if fitted with proper red faceted glass and a clear plastic window, but I find you have to check the two pin contact holders work - although they will replace if faulty.
