Introducing the New ADO16.info Supplier Directory

You said… we listened 👀

We’ve completely rebuilt the ADO16.info Supplier Directory from the ground up. Not tweaked. Not tidied. Properly rebuilt.

In fact, it’s been designed and built specifically for ADO16.info, to our own specification — shaped around what this community actually needs, not what a generic directory thinks you might want.

We even brought an early version along to the Practical Classics Classic Car & Restoration Show at the NEC, giving people the chance to have a proper look and tell us what they thought.

The response? Genuinely brilliant.

It gave us the confidence that we were building something not just different — but genuinely useful.

And the best bit? It’s been driven by what you told us you actually wanted.

🗣️ You said: “Make it easier to find the right suppliers”

We did: Built a cleaner, faster, more useful directory

No more endless scrolling or guesswork. You can now:

• Search by keyword (parts, services, whatever you need)
• Filter by service type
• Filter by country
• See who ships internationally
• Sort A–Z or by rating

It’s all about getting you to the right supplier quicker — not just any supplier.

⭐ You said: “I want to know who’s actually good”

We did: Introduced community ratings (done properly)

This isn’t about adverts or paid placements — it’s about real experiences.

You can now:

• Leave ratings and reviews
• Read what others think
• Spot Community Recommended suppliers

That badge isn’t handed out lightly — it’s earned through consistently strong feedback from the community.

Simple idea: if enough people rate them highly… they’re probably worth your time.

🧠 You said: “Some of the best suppliers aren’t even listed”

We did: Let you suggest suppliers

Know a great supplier we’ve missed?

You can now suggest them directly through the site. We’ll review and add them so everyone benefits.

This is how we build something genuinely useful — together.

🏷️ You said: “Give us real value as subscribers”

We did: Secured exclusive subscriber discounts

This is where things get interesting.

Selected suppliers now offer ADO16.info subscriber discounts — clearly marked with a golden discount chip.

👉 Click it, and you’ll see:

• What the offer is
• How to claim it
• Any exclusions

These discounts are only available to subscribers — so if you’re not already, now’s a very good time.

And yes — some of the best bits are reserved for subscribers… as they should be 😉

🏪 You said: “Let suppliers keep their own details up to date”

We did: Introduced supplier claiming

If you’re a supplier and a subscriber, you can now:

• Claim your business listing
• Update your details
• Respond to reviews
• Keep everything accurate and up to date

No more stale info. No more missed opportunities.

💬 You said: “Make it feel like a proper community tool”

We did: Built something that grows with you

This isn’t a static directory — it’s a living one.

Every:

• review
• rating
• suggestion
• update

…makes it better for everyone else.

🔧 So… what now?

Easy:

👉 Used a supplier? Leave a review
👉 Know a good one? Suggest them
👉 Run a business? Claim your listing

And if you spot that little golden discount chip… well, you know what to do 😉

👀 And we’re not finished yet…

This is just the start.

We’ve already got ideas in the pipeline to make the directory even more useful — more ways to surface the best suppliers, more tools for the community, and more value for subscribers.

So if you’ve got feedback… keep it coming.

Because this is one part of the site that will never stand still.

🚗 Built by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts

This is exactly what ado16.info is all about.

Not just information — but useful information.
Not just a directory — but a community-powered one.

Built for this community. Invested in for this community.

And we’re only just getting started.
