Diana,
It is an excellent idea, we'd probably need 3 "depots" for Europe, Asia 
and N. America, but what a great way to pass on parts when you had to 
buy a whole vehicle for just 2 or 3 items.  Talking to the folks at 
Dunsfold about new or remanufactured parts, the problem always comes 
down to volume and making a run of anything worthwhile.  Being able to 
find that last switch, spring or wheel cylinder to finish a project 
would be quite an asset.
