USAutomotive to be acquired

USAutomotive to be acquired by Topspeed Automotive, Bedford.

USAutomotive, a leading supplier of parts for American vehicles, today announces that it has entered into an agreement to be acquired by Topspeed Automotive.

Established 28 years ago and based in Bedford, USAutomotive has built a strong reputation for supplying high-quality parts and specialist support to enthusiasts, restorers, and racing teams. The company has a notable heritage in American-themed motorsport, including its involvement with the ASCAR series at Rockingham and its support of historic racing vehicles such as Mustangs, Falcons, Galaxies, and Cobras. 

The acquisition represents a significant step for the business, bringing together two established names in the automotive parts sector and creating a combined organisation with enhanced scale and capability.

Customers can expect continuity of service throughout the transition, with no immediate changes to ordering or support. Over time, the integration will provide broader product access, improved logistics, and increased resources.

Jane Bassett, Director for US Automotive commented: “We are proud of the role USAutomotive has played in supporting the American vehicle community over the past 28 years. This acquisition ensures the business is well positioned for the future and able to continue serving customers with an even stronger offering.”

Lesley Wright, Chair of the BDRHoF, said ‘We are extremely grateful to US Automotive for the support they have given to the British Drag Racing Hall of Fame over the years. From the beginning of the organisation in 2006 they have helped us to honour those who built the sport of Drag Racing in the UK, and we wish Stewart & Jane a very happy retirement. The business will be in good hands at Topspeed Automotive and we hope to continue our association with them.”
