MG TD TF 1500 - Help in LA

High Guys, any of you in Long Beach LA know of this company run by John and Sandra. There is no company name but they are at 17450 Clark Avenue, Lakewood. They have an advert on Craigslist for a MGA heater which I am interested in. I have emailed them but have not received a reply. As they don't appear to have an eBay listing, only Craigslist, they might only want to deal locally. Before I pursue it further any body know of them? I am asking here as I am more know than on the MGA board, plus I don't want any other MGA owners to get in ahead of me.
Thanks and Regards

Hi Tom, There are called British Connection and have quite a large website, but have not replied to my email after 8 days.

Seems fishy. I hope they are legit. The world has its quota of scammers.

Thank you for the update..

Tom,

If they are not legit they have a very good website.

Bernie, I have a twin cam heater. they are the other way around from a MGA heater. so may not be of any use to you?

A lot of shops like this don't check their email very often, if at all. You might have to call.

Pretty nice gig, if legit, as they only operate 6 hrs a day. Nice work if you can get it. Don’t expect your repair to be done very quickly.

Regards, Tom

Thanks Rod but yes TC too much work to fit.

May have to consider ringing but if they advertise email contact details then don't reply does not inspire confidence.

Think I will ask on MGA board first and see if anybody has had dealings with them.
