Buying parts for your BMC>MG has never been easier through AROnline...
HERE at AROnline, we receive a large numbers of emails from people
all over the world looking for parts for their cars MGs, Rovers, Landies and
all manner of BMC>MG cars. Given that this is merely a website providing
a little useless historical information, and not a commercial operation at all,
we're usually unable to help aside from pointing people in the right direction
- but from today, you'll be able to navigate to the web pages of parts supplier,
Rimmer Bros, from this site.
The idea is a simple one - if you own, say, a Rover SD1, and need
a new set of inner sills, you can go to the index page of that car, and there's
now an entry page that allows you to 'order parts online'. Currently Rimmer
Bros is offering that facility for AROnline for the following cars:
Mini
Rover P6
Triumph 2000/2500
Triumph 1300/Dolomite
Range Rover
Triumph Stag
Triumph TR7/TR8
Rover SD1
Austin/MG Metro
Triumph Acclaim
Maestro/Montego
Rover 213/216
Rover 800

The Rimmer Bros story
Considering
that the company’s website offers a multitude of parts for a bewildering
array of Triumph, Rover, Landie, MG and other BL-related parts, it’s hard
to believe that it all began with £3000 of working capital, a stash of
used TR6, TR7, Stag and Herald parts and a farmhouse.
However, with a keen eye for the market, and ever ready to listen
to the wishes of their customers, the Rimmer Bros soon expanded. When the TR7
dropped out of production, they picked up tons of brand new stock, and did the
same when the Canley factory bit the dust.
They’ve been in the current premises – a 75,000sq ft
Belfast Aero hanger – since 1991, and continue to look for the next innovative
deal. Buying up ex factory stock over the years has helped, together with the
purchase of the contents of several factory warehouses and being backed up by
ex-dealer and distributor stock when available, giving the most comprehensive
range of stock available.
Rimmer Bros also commissions the re-manufacture of many NLA car
parts, and is unusual in the business by selling them via a range of glossy
colour catalogues, as well as via the Internet and the on-site call centre.
