Fast road MGB

A very recently finished fast road MGB is in to sort a couple of gremlins, tune on the rolling road and MOT. One of the nicest MGB’s we’ve seen in sometime. A Sebring look with stripped out interior and lots of upgrades. Very cool. It has its MOT and is on the rolling road today to get the fueling right and sort out a misfire.

Ferrari Dino 246 Full Service

Dino 246 full service

This week we have a beautiful Ferrari Dino 246 for a full service. This time around the Dino is getting a major service. This includes brakes and suspension. All moving suspension points have been check and lubricated and the brakes have all been cleaned and adjusted. Additionally, we change the brake fluid as brake fluid will degrade over time. As well as the underneath, we’ve been in the engine bay. We’ve changed the oil and filter and serviced the ignition system. Finally, we’ve carried out a general pre-MOT check.

Upgrades for a Fiat. Race car development

We love historic race car preparation and development. We’ve made huge progress on the Fiat 1500 in the last 2 weeks. A custom exhaust manifold and system will let it breathe an awful lot better. A limited slip diff has been installed in the axle along with custom made competition half shafts. We’ve made a set of 13 x 6″ steel wheels to fit some larger rubber under the arches. There is a new race engine under way which will feature twin Weber carburettors. Watch this space.
