Moss and Rimmers partnership

Anyone else see this announcement of Moss and Rimmers effectively merging?

This will basically have a large slice of the UK marques parts supply sewn up, especially as The Roadster Factory in the US recently closed due to a fire.

I am sure it will be quite a positive for the classic car parts industry, but will it mean the end of the smaller suppliers?

One thing I'd like to see is the quality improved upon or maybe a two tier product line, premium that is top notch for fit and function on quality restorations and the regular stuff they put out now.

Hopefully they can invest in the rarer NLA stuff too.

Thoughts?

My domestic staff tell me that a first class stamp for a letter now costs £1.35, so a parcel will clearly cost a lot more!

I would have thought that together, being in control of a bigger slice of the Market, that they will initially be able to undercut other suppliers until they disappear, and then raise their prices accordingly....
