nos parts I should be looking for now?

[podelson]

ahh good to know. and jac04 I would love to grab those

They're not messing with you. There is (or at least WAS) a ton of original stuff being sold off from a stockpile in Malaysia over the last year or two. Oh, that, and it seems jac04 has a set of NOS wheel hub center caps he wants to get rid of.

In this global world, it is fair to say to even a Landrover logo'd part could be made in Eastern Europe or Asia. Not all repro parts are of poor quality. RN does endeavor to sort the wheat from the chaff, some of the product that arrives here is not fit for resale and our scrap pile is a sad testament to this.
So, tread carefully, select wisely.
I know that occasionally a hoard of NOS parts surfaces from crypts around the globe, though this is becoming more and more of a rare occurrence.
Most people have in the past bought a second "parts" vehicle to support the main daily driver, again, these are getting rarer.
Maybe the humble Series Landrover will have the same status as Frog eyed Sprites and MG TD's etc.

C'mon Les. We're talking 2A stuff. You aren't telling me that Land Rover is still making parts for them in The Czech Republic or China, and putting them in OE boxes, are you? I guess I can believe it for consumables like clutches and brakes and all.
I have received plenty of parts for my RRCs in LR parts bags that give country of origin outside the UK or EU.
