Ok, so the aftermarket parts market over here sucks, nothing available unless its second hand.

Are there any companies out tthere who offer parts for the fc interested in setting up with a uk company (me) to offer parts to those over here?

Seems those who do manage to sort out parts end up importing from the US without ant uk based customer support etc

 

hard to make a business case for a car that hasn't been produced in 20 years

 

Not really, I have plenty of contacts and club members over here who are after parts, just nothing easy to get hold of

 

This all depends on the kind of following a car has. Look at the thriving aftermarket for 1950s-1970s British sportscars in America. Not only have those cars not been built in 30+ years, many of the companies that made them no longer have any presence or parts supply channels in America.
