Caterham Specialist
Over 30 years owning, racing, and developing Caterham 7s. From suspension setup to complete bespoke builds.
The Car That's "Too Fast To Race"
The Caterham Seven was banned from racing in the US in the 1960s, and again in the UK in the 1970s – for being "Too fast to race". That heritage is in our name and in our DNA.
Simon has been involved with Caterhams since the beginning of his motorsport career. Competing, developing, building, and refining these incredible machines. There's no better platform for understanding vehicle dynamics and suspension engineering.
Whether you need your existing car optimised, want a bespoke build created to your exact specification, or are considering a bike engine conversion – we have the experience and expertise to deliver.

GSXR Conversions
The Suzuki GSXR engine transforms the Caterham experience. 250bhp in a 390kg car delivers extraordinary performance with the soundtrack to match.
We have extensive experience with bike-engined Sevens and can guide you through the conversion process or build a complete car to your specification.
Suspension Setup
Every Caterham we've owned or developed has taught us something. That accumulated knowledge goes into every setup we deliver.
From standard Sigma cars to full race-spec, we dial in suspension that makes your car communicate clearly and respond predictably.
Servicing & Maintenance
Regular servicing by someone who understands Caterhams keeps your car reliable and performing at its best. We catch issues before they become problems.
Upgrades & Modifications
Suspension upgrades, engine work, braking improvements, weight reduction – we can advise on and implement modifications that genuinely improve your car.
The GSXR Build
390kg · 250bhp · Pure Driving
Our GSXR-powered Caterham represents the pinnacle of what the Seven platform can deliver. Lightweight, powerful, and developed through countless hours of testing and refinement.
This level of performance demands suspension that can keep up. Every aspect of the chassis has been developed to work with the engine's character – predictable, communicative, and ultimately fast.
