TVR Parts Limited – An update from your No.1 source of genuine parts

While there is ever-increasing excitement about the launch of our new TVR, we are also very conscious of the need to support owners of existing TVRs.

One of the ways we do this is via the supply of accredited parts for existing models, and we are delighted with the enormous progress TVR Parts Ltd has made over the past couple of years to extend the range and quality of parts available for the TVR community.

The reason behind setting up a single source of supply was so that we could focus on delivering the best choice and prices to existing owners. As each month sees more and more parts coming into stock, it is clear this strategy is really working.

TVR Parts Ltd has already built a huge stock list in order to service as wide a range as possible of TVR models of all ages, and can now offer substantially more parts than any other supplier. As Colin Bowler, MD of TVR Parts Ltd says, “This is just the beginning really. It has been and continues to be quite a treasure-hunt to source so many variations and, where parts no longer exist, we have been working through the original TVR drawings and researching and testing exhaustively to ensure these newly-engineered parts are true to the originals and of sufficient high quality to bring to the market. Our standard two-year warranty on most parts reflects the confidence we have in our quality control.”

Accredited TVR parts are available to purchase online from their website, tvr-parts.com, or you can phone them direct and one of their experienced personnel will be happy to discuss your particular needs or concerns. TVR Car Club members qualify for an immediate 7.5% discount.

Recent additions to stock have included a wide range of Toyo Tyres with the TVR logo, radiators for models including Griffith, Chimaera and Tuscans, windscreens, clutch kits and high specification catalytic converters.

Based in Hampshire, TVR Parts will be moving in the Autumn to new, larger premises in Alton where they will be able to increase the range of stock yet again.

Another exciting development under the reinvigorated TVR Brand!

The total headcount increased from 1,298 to 1,415 during 2016.
Stefano Domenicali, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Automobili Lamborghini comments: “Lamborghini realized another record year and we are once more outperforming our planned figures. In the face of the biggest expansion in our company’s long history, in the build-up of our product portfolio, our development and production capacities, we are introducing fascinating new products, creating new jobs and increasing our profitability. All of this could not have been done without our excellent team that deserves all the credit.”
All major sales regions EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa), America and Asia Pacific set new records and contributed to the sales growth. The USA remain the largest single market with 1,250 units sold.
Thanks to the Huracán model the year 2016 has been the most successful yet in Lamborghini’s history for V10 sales.
