Catalogue Issue 24

Our, full-colour, 176-page catalogue (Issue 24) details all of the products available through this site plus many more - too numerous to list. You can obtain an Adobe pdf copy of our complete catalogue (updated) on CD (includes other documents such as tumbling instruction booklet and 'Special Stone List') if you prefer.
Some sections of the catalogue can be downloaded in Adobe PDF format from the relative part of our on-line store.
A small charge (£2.50) is normally made for our printed catalogue - to minimize waste and assist in maintaining the lowest possible product prices - but we are waiving this charge (you pay only for the postage/packing) as a recession-busting gesture !

<span style='color: #ffff00;'>Ford Consul Classic 315</span>

Ford Consul Classic 315

An eye-catching attraction (the car - not the person !) that can sometimes be seen in our car park (on sunny days only !): A rare LHD 1962 Ford consul Classic 315 that is preserved and maintained by John Hilton and his family. The vehicle had been restored to concourse condition, in the late 80's, after having been brought back to England from France where it had spent many years in a Paris museum prior to purchase and barn storage by a french farmer.

This rare Classic will be exhibited at the NEC Classic Motor Show (Birmingham) in November 2011 on the Ford Classic and Capri Owners Club stand. FCCOC

Our stock range of nearly 10,000 items (the majority being available through this site) covers hobby and professional requirements for craft/workshop/therapy use. E & O E. Copyright: Manchester Minerals. January 2012
