Globally renowned for its original specification classic wiper and mirror products, British Motor Heritage (BMH) subsidiary Tex Automotive is now offering an ever-increasing range of enthusiast car parts and accessories, as well as a mouth-watering selection of rare, or in some cases, unique ‘mint and boxed’ model cars.

A collectors’ goldmine, the selection has been amassed over many years by BMH in its role as global licensee for the Austin, Austin-Healey, MG, Morris, Rover, Triumph and Wolseley brands. It comprises everything from one-off prototypes to limited edition runs, all boxed and in mint condition. A selection of the offerings can be found at www.texautomotive.com.

However, it is only a fraction of the total stock, with more items being added to the website all the time; so collectors are advised to make regular visits to the site in order not to miss out on this exciting opportunity.
