In 1994, 2CVGB started a spares organisation to plan for the future, to try to ensure that parts would always be available to keep our A Series cars on the roads. This would be done by keeping original parts for use as patterns, and, where necessary, for the club to manufacture the parts or repair sections.

Manufacture would only be carried out when no other source was available. Following discussion at the World meeting in Finland, it was decided by other European clubs to set up a similar scheme, firstly to avoid duplication of work, and also to provide an information platform to enable a wider distribution of knowledge. As there has been little activity on this front, at the world meeting in Greece it was decided, amongst those present and interested, to resurrect the scheme.

To ensure its survival, a different country will Chair the organisation on a rotating basis.

The UK is Chairing for the first two years and will hand over at the next World Meeting.
