Bentley and Rolls-Royce hold one-off parts and accessories sales fair
19 Jul 2009|3,241 views
Bentley Motors holds over 55,000 part lines for all Bentley models (1955 onwards) as well as Rolls-Royce cars built in Crewe (1955-2002) at its state-of-the-art 143,000 square foot warehouse on the outskirts of the Cheshire town. This equates to an astonishing 7 million items - all stored and catalogued on the company's database.
The September sales fair will enable Bentley to create additional space for parts and accessories for upcoming cars like the Continental Supersports and the much anticipated all-new Bentley which is due to make its debut in California this August.
"Even Bentley employees describe our parts and accessories operation as a 'goldmine' and are slightly overawed by the sheer number and variety of parts and accessories we can supply", comments Steve O'Hara Director of Aftersales at Bentley Motors.
"However with so many Bentley and Rolls-Royce cars enjoying far longer lives than a typical vehicle and owners seeking to keep them in the best possible condition, we need to be able to support these customers and many more generations of owners. We take real pride in being able to provide anything from a humble speedometer cable through to replacement body panels anywhere in the world. This event will be a real one-off. It is very rare for us to be able to open the doors like this so we hope that Bentley and Rolls-Royce aficionados will make the most of the opportunity."
Unlike a typical 'autojumble', all the parts available will be original and unused, backed with a manufacturer warranty and many provided in branded packaging. Bentley's official logistics partner will also attend the weekend to support any customers needing parts to be shipped.
Richard Lawrie, Heritage Parts Manager at Bentley Motors, comments: "We will be providing a large marquee to display the parts and hope that the selection will meet the requirements of specialist companies who restore and service these remarkable cars as well as the owner enthusiast seeking a rare item and the opportunity to buy directly from the warehouse."
