About A H Panels

A H Panels was founded by A H Spares in 2003 to establish a professional sheet metal manufacturer, solely focusing on producing high-quality, precise reproduction body panels for the Austin Healey marque.

Originally opening in a small workshop in Leicestershire, A H Panels began manufacturing aluminium and steel body panels from tooling based on original Austin Healey parts.

Twenty years later, A H Panels is now located at larger premises in Coventry and employs over 10 skilled welders and craftsmen with 240 years' experience in sheet metal work and manufacturing between them.
