A Marketplace Built for Historic Vehicle Enthusiasts

You know how frustrating it is—spending days, sometimes weeks, searching for that rare exhaust manifold for a 1955 Bentley, only to come up empty-handed.

Or maybe you've been hunting for an original leather seat for your Austin Healey, only to find that the few available either cost a fortune or don’t seem reliable.

Whether you're restoring a 1936 MG TA, a 1965 Triumph TR4, or a 1972 Ford Escort RS, the struggle to find period-correct parts is real!

But here’s the thing—these parts are out there. They’re sitting on shelves in garages, tucked away in collections, covered in dust, waiting for someone who needs them.

Let's Empower Remanufacturing

Many historic vehicle parts are no longer in production, leaving you struggling to find essential components. ifndautoparts is committed to solving this challenge by leveraging the power of our Match Me feature to support remanufacturing efforts.

Here's how it works:

  • When enough people request the same rare part, we track the demand and compile a spreadsheet.
  • Using this data, we collaborate with parts manufacturers to explore the possibility of a new production run.
  • If we secure a remanufacturing run for the requested part, we’ll list it on ifndautoparts and notify all interested buyers the moment it becomes available.
  • The more requests we receive—whether it’s 20, 50, or more—the greater the chance of bringing discontinued parts back to market.

This initiative ensures that key historic vehicle components remain available, helping us all restore and maintain our cherished vehicles with high-quality remanufactured parts.

Join today and set up that Match Me Alert for the parts you need!


A Father, A Family, A Dream—The Story of ifndautoparts.com

ifndautoparts.com was founded in 2021 by Mick Lunn and his daughters, Layla and Ruby, out of a deep-rooted frustration with sourcing rare car parts. As rare car enthusiasts themselves, they experienced first hand the difficulties of finding authentic and reliable components for restoration projects. Rather than accepting these challenges, they decided to create a dedicated marketplace that would serve the needs of fellow enthusiasts.

Based in Silverstone, the heart of British motorsport, ifndautoparts.com was built with a mission to make rare and hard-to-find parts accessible to the entire historic car community. Their passion for preserving automotive history and craftsmanship aligns perfectly with FBHVC’s mission of keeping historic vehicles on the road.
