Welcome to Obsolete - your specialist source for hard to find, discontinued parts for classic VW and Audi vehicles. Whether you’re restoring a classic Mk1 Golf, bringing a Scirocco back to life, or simply keeping your classic on the road, we understand how frustrating it is when the parts you need are no longer made.

Our Story

Obsolete was born out of a passion for classic German engineering. As enthusiasts ourselves, we’ve seen too many classic VW and Audi owners give up on restoration projects because of the smallest of items was impossible to locate. We founded Obsolete to solve that problem - to track down the obsolete, the discontinued, and the nearly forgotten parts that make or break a restoration.

What We Do

• Parts Sourcing: We specialise in sourcing rare and discontinued components — from dash cluster circuit boards to interior fittings, and electrical connectors.

• Expert Knowledge: Over the years, we’ve built strong relationships with suppliers and classic parts networks. We know where to look!

• Quality Assurance: Every part we offer is brand new - either remanufactored or made entirely ourselves from design, tooling and production - we want to make sure your restoration is as authentic and durable as possible.

• Customer Support: We don’t just sell parts; we support your project. Whether you have a part number, a photo, or just a vague description, we’ll work with you to identify and source what you need.

Why Choose Us

• Specialist Focus: Unlike general auto parts retailers, our entire business revolves around classic VW and Audi. That means we understand the unique challenges and quirks of these old cars.

• Hard-to-Find Inventory: We thrive on “impossible” parts. If something’s discontinued or no longer manufactured, chances are we’ve already tracked down a source — or we’ll try our hardest to.

• Passion & Expertise: Our team doesn’t just work in this area — we live it. We’ve restored cars ourselves. We understand what each part means to a restoration, and how critical the right piece can be.

• Trust & Transparency: We don’t overpromise. Lead times, part conditions, and prices are honestly communicated. You’ll know exactly what you’re buying and when to expect it.

Our Vision

We believe every classic VW and Audi deserves to run beautifully, authentically, and reliably - even if its parts are no longer made. By keeping the knowledge, the passion, and the rare components alive, we’re helping preserve this slice of automotive history.
