I believe they do. But I can't guarantee that, any I have bought have been from a 2-3 hour distance and they "come to town" a couple of times a week to supply the body shops, and do trade with the local companies/competition, so cost was [way back then, mid '80's] acceptable to me.

The number of times this has been the case, and I am still taken aback, you'd a thunk I would have gotten a clue by now! So welcome to the biggest club in automotive, home renovations and dealing with family, histories!

do you mean that modern computer databases aren't accurate? We'd all be laughing except it is so true that hurts to laugh!
We all wish you Luck, and if I can help let me know, but it seems the geography isn't in our favour on this one.
