About Us

Products meet or exceed the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Specifications. As a committment to this quality standard every Prestige Parts® product is sold with a 3 Year Warranty.

We work closely with our suppliers to eliminate inefficiencies, often using modern technology & machinery to replace older techniques, and staying close to the quality control process.

We invest significant time & capital to develop parts that help keep your classic on the road, typically buying multi year stocks to ensure we pay the best possible price to pass on a cost effective option to our customers.

Individual items and ranges can take between several months or multiple years to come to market undergoing many iterations before passing stringent lab checks and road testing.

Specialists have always sourced alternatives for their customers, including reconditioning and reusing where necessary when parts are scarce or hard to come by. IntroCar was no exception and after a long history in the industry, having been a major international supplier since 1988, and with the subsequent wealth of parts knowledge and supplier network, the Prestige Parts® range was born in the late 2000s. Little did IntroCar know at the time that it would one day consist of several thousand lines, be stocked by multiple worldwide resellers, and require a full team and a new department dedicated to development and quality control!

What hasn’t changed is the commitment to the quality and the need, no matter the demand for the item. Sometimes it has been decided to complete a full suite of products for all models, despite maybe a limited number of cars worthy of making the investment profitable. One recent example of that are the Camargue bumpers. Produced to be an improvement on the original bumpers, no matter how many owners may ever need them - at least those owners are covered!

The same ethos has always applied: “it should not cost the earth to run your Rolls-Royce or Bentley”... but they do deserve the best!

We are often amused by the assumption that all aftermarket parts are made in China. Underlying this seems to be the assumption that all genuine parts are made in Britain (or Germany or wherever the manufacturer of the car in question is based). The truth is much more complicated. These days all supply chains are global. Original Equipment Manufacturers (or OEMs) such as TRW and Lemforder are based in Germany, but they have factories all over the world. “German Engineered” is a euphemism for “designed in Germany but probably made elsewhere”. Add to this that many components are complicated requiring subcomponents and assemblies to be made in various parts pf the world.

Another issue is that so-called Original Equipment has often been re-sourced to the lowest bidder. We no longer use ‘genuine’ Lucas ignition contacts and condensors for example, because they are vastly inferior to the original Lucas specification. Instead we have had them specially made for us. If you don’t believe us, try a new ‘Original’ Lucas product and then fit ours!

The problem for spares for the aftermarket (that is, spares for cars that are no longer manufactured) begins as soon as the model stops rolling off the production line. As soon as this happens, demand can become a fraction of what it had been when the car was being built.

When building a car on a production line, spares requirements are high and predictable. Suppliers know how many to make and when they will be required. Imagine that you supply exhaust systems to a production line... One year the demand might be 5,000 units to meet production, the next it might be 50. The supplier who is set up to make 5,000 units per annum is not the one who wants to make 50. To keep spare exhausts available, the car manufacturer must convince the supplier to make a smaller volume or find another manufacturer willing to do it. Imagine doing this for your whole supply chain!

This is why genuine spares for the aftermarket can be expensive, and why maufacturers often choose to stop supplying components soon after the car has ceased to be produced.
