ABOUT

During the late 1950’s, Arden McLean became a new car dealer for MG’s, Austin Healey’s and Triumph’s and then a TVR dealer during the 1970’s. Starting in 1989 Arden’s son Mark continued the tradition with the family owned McLean Enterprises, specializing in sales and service for fine British Sports cars until his retirement in 2005. Brit Bits strives to follow in those footsteps, actively and with passion. We are very active in many club activities as time and budgets allow. We attend many area car shows and we remain a family oriented business as many of you know having visited our show booth staffed(or overun with my kids).

In the same location since 1969, we service customers from as far away as Virginia to Canada and out into the eastern Midwest. For sales, we average about 50 cars per year, cars ranging from projects, solid drivers and #1 and #2 condition restorations.

McLean Enterprises is the largest center specializing in sales and service of pre-owned British automobiles in the New England area. Consignments are our speciality.

Brit Bits was created in 1998 as a division of McLean Enterprises to expand the business into the retail sales of new, used and rebuilt parts, accessories dedicated to British sports cars and gifts, clothing and souvenirs with a British theme.

Sam Smith manages all areas of operations along with partner Norman Michaels, Parts Manager Ben French & Techs Justin, Andy, Phil & Brad. All of us here are pasionate about the hobby and are hands on in the shop or parts. We get a new vehicle in and we've been known to all go sit in it for awhile.

Our parts dept. can find just about any bit needed for any British Auto or we can refer you to proper source. We are distributors for all of the major parts suppliers in the US, offering discounted pricing and personal service for any request.

In service, we perform all types of maintenance from a basic oil change to full engine, transmission and suspension rebuilds. We do restorations on a limited basis, providing attention to detail. We subcontract bodywork & paintwork according to the level of excellence required and budget.

HOURS: Our business hours are Monday - Saturday 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, Sundays.

We strive to keep our services small, friendly and professional. We’re a small business and have full intentions of staying that way. Friendly and honest, we take pride in offering the best possible services and products to our customers.
