The David Manners Group now comprises of three of the most established market leaders in the car parts industry. We supply parts for modern and classic Jaguar & Daimler, MG & Triumph, Mazda MX5 and Morris Minor cars.

In 1981 David Manners ventured in the Morris Minor automotive spares market and went into partnership creating the Morris Minor Centre (Birmingham). Originally restoring and repairing Morris Minor cars and commercials the parts side of the business grew and grew and became the main income for the business.

As the business grew so did the need for space and in 1998 the business moved to the current site on the Wolverhampton road.

Becoming part of the David Manners Group in 2006 has increased the buying power of this once small two man band to create a company with a steadily increasing turnover.

We have access to around 3000 parts and over 1600 lines in stock, for all Morris Minor cars.

Events

You can come and vist us at many events throughout the year, including our annual MG & Triumph and Mazda MX-5 Open Days! Our events are open to owners and enthusiasts alike, and are a great opportunity to see some gorgeous cars, as well as learn handy hints & tips from our parts experts.
