While this may be new for GoWesty, it is not actually new. I have dealt with
VW Classic Parts for years, both as a supplier to them and a customer. (In
fact I just visited them in Wolfsburg a couple of months ago.)  Many items
on our site come from them, so if you buy from us you've probably bought
some of their items and don't know it.  However, their selection is a mixed
bag. Not all of it is N.O.S. or even made by the original supplier, despite
the VW label on the box. Some of it is indeed original production and well
worth stocking, so I do. But other items are new production, and I can buy
(and therefore sell) the identical item cheaper by bypassing them.
