About Us

Tex Automotive, a manufacturer and supplier of quality parts on British cars for over eighty years

Tex was established in the 1940s as Magnatex Ltd, who registered the Tex trademark on October 25, 1944.

Tex Motor Accessories have been manufactured in England for over eighty years, and many of our products are still produced in our factory in Witney using the original tooling.

Since their first appearance on British cars in 1947, Tex products evolved over the years to keep in step with changing car designs. The current range includes wipers and mirrors that were original equipment on a huge range of Austin, Ford, Morris, MG, Triumph, Vauxhall etc. from 1974 to 1983.

Using only the best quality steel and chrome parts the foundations of the range are Classic Mirrors and Stainless Steel wiper arms and blades – standard fit on most vehicles produced between the 1950’s and 1980’s.

Increasingly sophisticated wiper and wash systems that were also coming into fashion. As a result, the company was downsized and sold in the 1980s and the name changed to MRM-Tex Ltd in 1986. The current moniker of Tex Automotive Ltd was adopted in 1995, following a move from London to Witney. The firm was acquired by British Motor Heritage (BMH) in May 2008 and relocated within our premises shortly afterwards.
