Volvo PV544: Development continues for Goodwood Revival

Development of our 1958 Volvo PV544 for Goodwood has continued following a successful test at Brands Hatch. We spent some significant time on the rolling road and tried out some different things. Ultimately we have gone up on the choke size, changed the emulsion tubes and re-jetted the carburettors and found an incredible 21bhp (flywheel) with an increase in torque across the whole curve. We’ve got some suspension changes to make this week before heading back out on track for our second test.

Rolling road tuning for Davrian Imp, Lotus 7 and Works Mini replica

We’ve had some very interesting machines in recently for rolling road tuning in our East Sussex workshop. An unusual, yet potent, Davrian Imp race car. These Imp based machines cleaned up on the race tracks during the 70’s but they are a rare sight now. This one looks like its stepped right out of 1975 and features a full race Hillman Imp engine on Weber carburettors.

We also had this delightful Series 2 Lotus 7 with period race history. Raced in period with a Ford engine it now features a 998cc BMC A-Series on a single Weber carburettor.

Finally, a very well done BMC Works Mini Cooper S rally car replica. This car has been built with a fantastic eye for detail and features genuine Abingdon modified split Weber carburettors.

We specialise in rolling road tuning at our Sussex workshop. Call for more details.
