I always find Partco very competitive, and as its Unipart there may be a good chance its from the original Rover supplier,

If you go to the rimmerbros online MG Rover Catelogue, R200 section Page 64 and look at the Rear Hub Bearing Rear Disk with ABS and click on the Part No RLB000060 it does in deed give you a price of £101.52 /e inc VAT, but at the bottom of the pop up it then gives you the same part no with a P on the end.

Click on this and it gives you the price for a Pattern part / non genuine copy for £54.09 inc. VAT so a least you've now got a target to beat.

Partco like most big Motor Factors will probably ask you for your reg, as they subscibe to the DVLA database which gives them your chassis no etc. It should therefore automaticaly tell them its a BRM and cross reference it to the correct part (in theory anyway). I also Andrew Page do this as well but I've never managed to get good deals from them as they wont discount cash customers

Hope this helps
