Farina News Spare Parts Brief History

Spare Parts

                                                         Last update: November 2019

Updated club-spares info from Derek, our spares secretary. 

The club spares project has now been running for eight years and has proved to be very popular with our members. Over the years, and with their enthusiastic support, we have now sourced and manufactured an extensive amount of stock. We are now probably the largest supplier of A40 Farina parts (in the world!!) and, with virtually no overheads, are usually the least expensive. We also supply reconditioned parts (on an exchange basis) and are constantly researching additional spares re-manufacturing projects. We send to both the UK and overseas destinations almost daily.

Although we only sell to members the club’s low club annual subscriptions makes joining a worthwhile investment. It is no coincidence that club membership has increased steadily during recent years. Parts and initial joining fees can be paid for by credit/debit card.

We hold such a large selection of parts that it’s impossible to list all here but below is a list of our more popular items:
