Parts and Service
We stock an extensive range of rare and hard to find parts for your Lotus, along with a comprehensive selection of regular service items and general parts.
Factory new or second hard parts can also be sourced, and we are the best place to get replacement windscreens for all Lotus models. For those interested in making thier car faster, or getting involvement in motorsport we can also find and fit a full range of fast road, or full competition parts.
Many older Lotus models use parts from other British and European marques, Lotus sourced everything from suspension and brake components to switch gear and handles from a variety of different OEM’s and parts manufactorers. Our years of experiance working on Lotus cars gives us the knowledge to know what was used, or what can be fited as a replacement.
In some cases, especially on classic models, many parts are no longer available. We have the manufactoring experiance and access to tooling and casting to recreate parts if needed.
If you can’t find it, we may have it in stock, and if it is no longer available, we can make it.
Other Brands
At K W Historics we have decades of experience working on classic, exotic and specialty vehicles. While our focus has always been on Lotus cars, our customers have brought to us a wide selection of different brands. We have a full range of tools and equipment, and would challenge anyone to find a brand of car we have not repaired. You will often find Ferrari, Maserati, and Jaguar cars being serviced or fully restored along side a Lotus getting an oil change. We are experts in all E-Type models, and care for a number of classic Ferrari’s. Recent cars through the workshop have included a new Shelby Cobra, a Maserati Merak, an E-Type, several Porsche’s; 912, 944, 928, a Ferrari 308 GTB and a Daytona.
We also have a charging station and the equipment need to service Tesla’s full range of electric cars.
Vehicle Certification and Importation
New Zealand has it’s own laws and regulations for certification of cars for road use, these are very different from the laws and regulations found in the UK, Europe and North America. These differences impact the importation of low volume, rare and exotic cars into New Zealand. They do not make it impossible, but they do require the knowledge of the process we have at K W Historics. We are familiar with the differences in engineering requirements for suspension and chassis components, and the exemption and certification application process, so can help you get your dream car on the road in New Zealand.
If you are looking to import a Lotus, Lamborghini or other rare or exotic car into New Zealand we are happy to help, and can arrange all parts of the process, from shipping to certification.
