We Have Moved!
The car world is obsessed with speeds and feeds. 0-60 times, top speed, cornering g-forces, stopping distances; well, we’ve got some new stats for you too. We’ve traveled a staggering 528 feet and it has taken four and a half years. I know, you think I’ve gone mad, but I haven’t. Honest!
Mclaren Wins GTO Class Championship

Mclaren MP4-12C Can Am Stands in for Brabham
A race season that should have seen us campaign the Brabham BT62 took a decided turn when the car suffered another engine failure! The team was fortunate enough to have the owner drive, Paul Bailey's, very special Mclaren MP4 Can Am car at our workshop. The team managed to get the car to the circuit and prepped and ready to race to stand in for the stricken Brabaham.
Jacky Ickx GT40 At Goodwood FOS
Here at SBR Engineering we were honoured to be given the task of recommissioning this totally original GT40.
This car (Chassis GT40 P/1001) is a "production" GT40, and was the New York motor show car in 1966. Chassis GT40 P/1000 was the first car made, but was destroyed in testing, so Chassis P/1001 was flown from New York to Ford Advanced Vehicles in Europe, and was prepared to race in the Le Mans 24Hr that year.
