Classic Motoring
We have significant knowledge and expertise in engine builds for classic vehicles, wether it be British, American, or European.
Mini's & 'A' Series Variants
There is really nothing else like the humble 'A' series engine and, for some years now, we have specialized in performance tuning it for both minis and metros.
This knowledge has been put to good use over many successful seasons of grasstrack racing.
We take your requirements and offer a number of engine options which can improve your power output. All modifications are carried out at our workshop in-house.
We recently sold our 135bhp project car. Using a full specification 1430cc engine, omega pistons, long stroke, tufrided crank, lightened and balanced internals we finished it off with a full straight cut box and a 4 pin diff.
