I've noticed them actively trading for quite a number of years as
Triumph ** parts specialists. Looks as if they are now branching out and
acting as distributors for a general exhaust manufacturer. An
alternative if anyone is interested might be a company called JP
Exhausts in Macclesfield who supply and fit or supply only stainless
exhausts for most makes of cars and vans with a lifetime warranty and
have a very good reputation. 
My '91 100 Avant must need a new centre box soon, having welded a small
leak a year ago and the rear can't be far behind, so might ask for some
quotes for stainless. (It has a cat. box too which must also be pretty
tired by now, but AFAIK this can legally be ditched). On the other hand,
to last out for eight years+ is pretty good for the OE exhausts. Anyone
had any experience of the (German manufacture) aftermarket ones sold by
German and Swedish - although cheaper, if they only last two or three
years, might be false economy ?

** the Triumph car company has a very long history indeed as suppliers
to the European nobility, at one time outselling Alfa Romeo on their
home territory, as the following quotation proves:

All:               Live, Brutus! live, live! 
First Citizen:     Bring him with Triumph home unto his house.
