Parts Source In Canada?

New owner of a 1988 MKV austin.Rover Mini. Trying to figure out many things, like where to source parts here in Canada. Shipping from the USA is glacially slow in recent months due to borders being closed. I've had stuff for other things taking 6-8 weeks now and still waiting.
I'm in BC but I'd think anywhere within national boundaries should be OK.

I'm in the States, but if I were you I'd be ordering from England.....everything I get from there comes DHL in about 3-5 days from the time they pick it up and for reasonable cost. MiniSpares or MiniSport are my preferred shops.

There are also some great Mini shops in Japan, but they tend to be a little bit more expensive.

The classic Mini forum here isn't that active, I'd suggest you go to RestorationMini dot com

In BC I use Drakes British Motors(Moss) - Kelowna BC or, Hunters Classic Sports Cars in Victoria. For large orders I've used Mini Spares out or the UK.
