Grassroots Motorsports
My favourite car magazine, I read it cover to cover every month! Loads of information, project ideas and race theory for the low-buck speed freak or DIY mechanic. While not specifically vintage or British, it does cover LBC's and other older sportscars like Alfas and Fiats on a regular basis, and there are lots of general automotive knowlege articles. They also have a very active message board at the Grassroots Motorsports web site. |

Classic Motorsports
Sister publication to Grassroots Motorsports above, this magazine now focuses on "classic" cars from the 60s and 70s. Every issue so far has had at least one article on the MGB, and it was on the cover last month! They have written about power tuning, supercharging the MGB, general buyers guides, etc. There's also a very good supplier directory in the back of every magazine, including several 5-speed conversion vendors. One of my top picks!! (Note: this used to be "British Car" magazine) |

Eastwood has lots of high quality supplies for any restoration, especially if you plan on doing any painting or powdercoating. Lots of primo detailing gear as well.
Don't forget to check out their clearance sale!
These guys carry a huge selection of detailing supplies:
Northern Tool sells quality gear, and they ship to Canada if that kind of thing is important to you.
For cheap tools I'm only going to use a few times and generic car parts and accessories, JC Whitney has served me well. They have a huge catalog full of entertaining junk, great bathroom reading material.
