MGB • Sprite/Midget • Spitfire • TR6/TR250 • TR7/TR8

It can't be all about money.
You know some British car parts companies try to "compete" on price, alone.
Competing on price, alone, is so easy and so boring but that's all some companies have.
Price-cutters suck the life out of the parts business by substituting cheap parts to boast a cheap price. Sure they might have a good warranty, and you'll need it, but isn't your time worth something?

It certainly can't only be about price.
But if that's all you have...low prices...
If that's all a company has to distinguish itself, then lower on.
Because Motorhead can certainly compete on price.
Even though our catalog prices are already low and fair, we try to match anyone's sale price if the quality is the same.
But, if it's also about the warranty, ours is a year on everything we sell or do. (And no re-stocking fee.)

It should be about asking lots of questions and diagnosing before you buy.
It's about sharing our tech tips even when you bought a part somewhere else.
It must be about our catalogs and making sure you know what we know.
It may be about fair shipping charges.
It's about "out of stock" merely meaning "on tap." We source, daily, from a wide world of suppliers so you don't have to wait for a "container" to arrive to get that backordered rotor.
Remember—we keep up the parts supply for our busy shop, so we know how to keep up with your car, and we know if a part will fit and work.

It's about the home of daily drivers
It's about our full-service shop for repairs, renovations and restorations
It's about our Motorhead Inspection before you buy or renovate.
It has to be about still providing for George, our 2nd customer from 1978.
It's probably about having rebuilt over 150 British engines, over 200 gearboxes, dozens of differentials and hundreds of carburetters.
It sure is about our web page.
It's got to be about the key-making machine.
And about body shop referrals.

It's always been about helping you to own the right car for you.
It's about the second lifetime of British cars
It's about Jeff's 25 years at Motorhead, Rob's 22 years, Dave's 19, Gail's 14, Jarrod's 4, Peter's 5, Richards 12, Russell's 3.
And you get all of this for the low price.
For British cars, your dollar buys more at Motorhead.
It can't be all about the money, but even if it is, we're with you there, too.

When it's about money and much more than money...it's about Motorhead.
