1970 where it all started

Proud to be the largest Land
Rover parts supplier for over 40 years

John Craddock Ltd The Worlds Largest Supplier of Land Rover Parts, Spares and Accessories

It all started in 1968 when John Craddock purchased a 1948 Series One Land Rover for £50.00 and like so many enthusiasts he was smitten by the charisma of the vehicle: its simplicity, reliability and ability to cover any terrain in four wheel drive. In the late 60’s and 70’s Land Rover rallying became a popular pastime for John, who spent many weekends away with the Land Rover clubs.

Like many successful businessmen he happened by chance on a niche market though his hobby and passion. Parts for the older Land Rovers were becoming scarce and the only way to get hold of them, dare we say it, was to dismantle the older ones for spares. Fellow enthusiasts were soon purchasing parts and spares from John, until it became impossible for him to continue supplying Land Rover parts in his spare time.

Proud to be the World's leading Supplier of Land Rover Parts, Spares and Accessories

When your passion becomes your business you invariably make a resounding success of it and this was true for John Craddock Ltd who now supply Land Rover parts to virtually every country in the world. With over 100,000 items now available, John Craddock Ltd is now renowned for being the world’s leading supplier of parts, spares and accessories for the Defender, Freelander, Range Rover, Discovery and Series vehicles.
