Who are we & Where are we?

Who are we ?

Datch Distribution is a company founded in March 2006 by two Mini enthusiasts, Nicolas Datchary and Alexis B. – aged respectively (at the time) 35 and 30.

Originally, in 2006 we only sold spare parts for Austin Minis, but since 2011 we have widened our offer to sell spare parts for all English cars such as MG, Triumph, Jaguar, Austin Healey.

Our team at present consists of six people:
- Nicolas (founder, web, administration)
- François (head of stock, logistics and the shop)
- Paul (email, telephone, catalogue)
- Angelina (order preparation)
- Simon (sales, web & design, order preparation)
- Julien (order preparation)

Since 2006 we have aimed to propose the most extensive choice of parts and accessories in France and in Europe for all the popular english cars such as Minis, MG, Triumph, Austin-Healey..

After fifteen years of existence, we are proud and happy to offer:
- An agreeable, extensive, safe and powerful site
- A reliable logistic management
and
- A very wide selection of articles IN STOCK (about 40,000 articles available and 18,000 in stock) which can be delivered by standard shipping or next day express (order before 14:00).

It is worth noting that the availability shown on the site indicates in real time what we have in stock. Thus, there are no bad surprises.

Where are we from?
Not that far from Paris actually.

- Le Chesnay (2006 – 2007). The first year our stock and shop were housed in the family home. Yes, the real startup experience 😃.
- Colombes (2007 – 2011). 300 m2 allowed us to receive our clients in more comfort for 3 years.
- Houilles (2011 – the end of time). On 14th July 2011 we moved into 3,500 m2 of what had been a Heuliez factory.

On our Facebook page you can find more information about the company, and our cars, as well as photos of our premises.
