MG MGA - Mike Lempert

Has any one encounted delays with an order to Mike Lempert for a replica wood rim steering wheel? I am experiencing what I consider to be an inappropriate delay to my order and am beginning to fear for my deposit money forwarded to him some months ago. I must admit that his response to my email pleas for a firm delivery date is very good but regretfully any response always contains a different excuse for delays. Comments would be appreciated.

Do not be concerned about the delay. I too had to wait a few months longer. But let me tell you, It was worth the wait! His work is nothing short of Art work! He will keep you updated along the way but he is not quick. He is also a great guy to deal with. I am also sending my TR3 wheel to be don by him as well. Well worth the wait and paitence!!!

He is a great guy to work with. His stock shipment for the MGA wheels was delayed and he does have a backlog, but I've talked with him recently and he is working on them.

I would not worry in the least.

Cheers,

I bought a wheel from Mike about 2 years ago and it is beautiful. Remember, Mike is not running a big shop and there is a lot of demand for his products. I found him to be very honest and straight forward. You will have to wait a while for your wheel. BTW, my wheel was in Brazilian Cherry which he was almost out of stock when I ordered. It is great!

I've been waiting nine months for mine but Mike sent out an e-mail in June explaining that a new batch of delayed MGA metal frames had only just arrived and that they had been sent to the polishers back then. He had a backlog of orders and was dealing with them in turn. I can't wait for mine. Mike

Thanks all for your comments --- I fell easier now.
Mike, you placed your order around about the time I did. Rod.
