Thank you to MLU membership.

[Dave Mills]

A restorers dream is to trip over a bounty of NOS parts for our beloved vehicles.

I have had such an experience and wish to share it and thank the Aussie players involved.

It goes like this;

- Mike Kelly attends a swap meet in a Gippsland town named Moe, Victoria on Sunday.
- Mike notices a couple of boxes of NOS Austin Champ parts.
- Mike Kelly as always thinking of others got a contact number and emails Richard Couttes-Smith with the information on the day of the Swap Meet.
- Richard emails me with the details that afternoon.
- I made contact with the seller that night and after a 500K return trip and 5 hours on the road on Monday I have the following.

A huge thank you to Mike and Richard and the MLU network; what a great group of people bought together by a common cause.
