For over 20 years, SCP has been a leading manufacturer in the Specialist Car Parts industry, dedicated to producing components that are often challenging to source from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Founded to address the growing needs of the classic car market, SCP has progressively expanded its product line to include a wide array of specialist car parts, from alloy wheels and the renowned Revolution brand to valve covers, gears, and numerous other associated products essential for classic vehicle restoration and maintenance.
SCP’s journey in specialist car parts manufacturing reached a significant milestone in 1997 with the acquisition of its own production facility. This included the purchase of the Armstrong lever arm shock absorber plant, historically a key supplier for OEM Taxi, Metrocab, and classic car production. Expanding its capabilities further, SCP incorporated the Monroe suspension link production line two years later, establishing a robust manufacturing base capable of producing a comprehensive range of suspension components and precision-turned parts. This strategic growth has solidified SCP’s position as a specialist car parts provider with deep manufacturing expertise.
To streamline and enhance its operations, SCP is in the process of consolidating all its manufacturing facilities into a new, state-of-the-art 17,000 sq ft site in Tamworth, Midlands. Operating under the ISO9002 quality standard, this consolidation underscores SCP’s commitment to maintaining high-quality production of specialist car parts. The company’s dedication to quality ensures that every part meets the exacting standards required for classic vehicles, reinforcing their reputation in the specialist car parts market.

Understanding the diverse needs of classic car enthusiasts, SCP also offers a broad selection of Chrome and Painted Wire Wheels suitable for numerous vehicle models, as well as ‘Splined Fit’ or ‘Knock Off’ alloy wheels designed as direct replacements for wire wheels on original hubs.
Among its specialist offerings, SCP continues to manufacture the original Armstrong Lever Arm Shock Absorber for classic applications such as Austin Healey, MG, and Triumph, as well as for the iconic FX4 and Metrocab taxis.
