I suspect there may be companies in England and elsewhere who remanufacture almost anything for Ferrari, I think one company faithfully copies every part for 250`s making their recreation almost imposible to tell from the real thing, similarly Bugatti and Bentley, That Morgan robbed the parts bins of other manufacturers made for an interesting time if trying to find parts as cheaply as possible, fortunately there was always a one if not more specialist dealers, who would buy up Morgan`s old stock, and I guess it is not unreasonable to expect to pay a premium to any such dealer for keeping slow/no moving stock on the shelves year after year....?

Talking of spares, now that the Chinese own MG and Volvo it will be interesting to see the way that pans out in time.... My Tesla was manufactured in China...We do indeed live in interesting times, where Brand names may in no way relate to the item in question...

Watched a vid where it seems Volvo is laying off management at all levels, and numerous office and admin tasks to be handled in China...?
