Not that i am aware of, not the offical UFO importer anyway. Just go to MD Racing Products UK or KTM Klassiker Austria. Both stock the UFO vintage stuff and will ship here.

As he said ;D.

I think MCA are the official importers but they are not interested in 'Vintage' any thing - market too small I guess.

Very very good.
I haven't seen any issues with fit or finish.

Yeah Cassons are the importer but when some of the vintage line was re-introduced about 2 or 3 years ago they were not all interested.

Vintage line here

Thanks for the input. I was a bit concerned DC was my only choice ( and not happy reading about the finish on them)

You could try Maiers as well.  Not sure of fit, but finish seems to be very good.

As he said  ;) :D.

I haven't seen every manufacturer but fromwhat I've seen of UFO that is what I would assume. If there are better they must be exceptional ;).

They have been around since the 70's so i think they know what they are doing ;) While i was looking at their vintage stuff last night, i see they have even broght back more models than what they first had about 2 years ago when they started re-doign the vintage stuff again. Now if only they would do the plain large PP 'mudder' style in red i would be happy.
