Contemporary racing

In 2008, with Michael Mallock at the wheel, we entered an AM N24 into the GT4 European Cup. In our inaugural year, our N24 Vantage competed against BMW, Corvette, Nissan's 350Z, and Ford's Mustang. We achieved four pole positions and four podium finishes.

In 2009, we upgraded the N24 to GT4 Vantage specification in response to the arrival of Porsche's 997, Maserati's GranTurismo, and Ginetta's G50. Our car achieved two pole positions and six podium finishes, including a double win at Spa. Although we narrowly missed the top spot by just 2 points, Michael Mallock's remarkable drives helped us finish 3rd in the team championship.

Engine build

Our climate-controlled engine building workshop rebuilds engines to the highest standards, including unleaded fuel conversion, full rebuilds, and race development. Our in-house engineers perform component machining, ensuring that the finished product meets our exacting standards. Every unit is tested on our own dynamometer by the same person who built your engine. We offer engine rebuilds with standard upgrades or our 4.2-litre or 4.7-litre conversion for six-cylinder units and our 5.7-litre or 7-litre upgrade, carburetted or fuel-injected, for V8 engines.
