Title: Mark II 16V engine tuner?
Post by: Small bumper + steelies on November 09, 2025, 08:47:38 PM
Hello,

Do you know of any "old school quality" engine builders to do a traditional re-build / upgrade of the Mk 2 16V engine?  Like what Oettinger / BBR would have done in period.  (I don't want a turbo engine swap.)

I'm struggling to find anybody!  Location; anywhere in UK is fine.  Many thanks in advance.

Well, Hamlins in Bridgwater used to do all of the machining work for TSR back in the day.
I might start there.
Also, the likes of Retro Resus in the same area would probably be able to help too.
