Eurospares was founded by Vincent Pumo, (father of current owner James Pumo), a native Sicilian living in Manchester, England. During a trip to Italy, a Ferrari dealer asked him to pick up some parts from the factory. This became a regular occurrence and over time Vincent built up knowledge and contacts in the parts industry and formed Eurospares Continental Ltd in 1985.^[7] Initially, the company repaired cars and sold spare parts. However, in the early 2000’s, Eurospares shifted its focus solely to supplying parts.

Eurospares is engaged in the dismantling and salvaging of approximately 30-40 accident-damaged supercars each year.^[6][8] Their on-site workshop parts out "end of life vehicles", ensuring that each component is tested and catalogued according to manufacturer part number.
