Historic & Classic

Historic motorsport and the restoration of classic cars and bikes either to original specification or with modern upgrades is an increasingly popular part of our industry. As a motorsport engineering company established in 1965, we have a wealth of knowledge and experience when it comes to the design and manufacture of components and assemblies for the Classic market.

We manufacture thousands of classic car and motorcycle gear kits, gear boxes, axle sets, differentials and steering racks every year, many of which are sold exclusively through our specialist network of distributors.

Wherever possible, we work with experts in their field to create the perfect product. We have catered for everything from four speed gearbox conversions for a 1920’s commercial vehicle, differentials for 1940’s US army personnel carriers, a batch of complete replica gearboxes for a 1960’s supercar, uprights for Group A and B rally cars, and much more.

We have also designed and manufactured numerous upgrades and smart solutions for classic cars and vintage bikes where the original design was flawed, or where the parts are simply no longer available.
