The SVW spares and restoration business that I founded in the early
1970’s, is even busier now after nearly 30 years! As more and
more of our cars are restored and returned to active use, the emphasis
of our spares service is moving towards making the cars more useable
under modern traffic conditions. Consequently, in this, our 27 th
year of the SVW catalogue, you will find many new lines, aimed at
maintaining the usability of our cars, the youngest of which are
now 65 years old.
We can undertake all types of restoration within our workshop, from
complete rebuilds to the manufacture of individual one-off components,
eg. Complete Ash body frames, part frames, such as Saloon sun roofs
and boot lid frames, or single wooden or metal body parts. We also
offer a complete interior re-trimming service ranging from seat frames,
seat re-covering kits, hoods and carpets, to a complete interior re-trim
on any car. We also carry our re-spraying work to the highest standards
on any type of car.
The spares and restoration aspects of the business are run as two separate
companies; SVW Spares Ltd and SVW Restorations Ltd. Customers who bring
their cars to us for full or partial restoration work, will deal with
SVW Restorations Ltd, otherwise, all spare parts, whether it be a single
gasket or a complete body, will be supplied by SVW Spares Ltd. We are
always willing to assist owners who are restoring their cars by offering
partial restoration services as well as acting purely as a supplier
of spare parts. We are also happy to supply information and advice
for those of you undertaking restoration work yourself. Many people,
particularly our overseas customers, have found our partial rebuild/kit
service particularly useful.
The range of cars which we cater for remains centred
on the MG SA, VA and WA and we can always supply body
frames, panels and rebuild assistance for these three
models in all of their body styles.
However, we also undertake some
restoration work on other MG models such as T-Type and MGA, and
also other Marques of car such as Morris and those carrying Salmons
Tickford bodywork.
We are also able to design and
build special bodywork using traditional thirties-style construction
methods and materials. Both bodywork and interior can be tailored
to individual customers’ requirements. Examples of such
special coachwork are shown on the cover of this catalogue.
If you are unable to find the
new part you require in the catalogue and we are unable to make
it ourselves, we may be able to supply it from our vast stock
of used parts, or we may be able to put you in touch with another
equally enthusiastic owner who can help you.
We are, of course, always willing
to discuss with enthusiasts anything to do with SVW, Morris,
Wolseley and Salmon Tickford bodied cars.

The MOWOG connection
Owners of Morris and Wolseley series
2 and 3 cars of the 1935 to 1948 period will be aware that many
of the components of their cars are very similar, and in some
cases, identical to those fitted to the MGA SA, VA and WA. If
you need any assistance with cross-referencing between this catalogue
and Morris or Wolseley parts list, please enquire and we will
do our best to help.
