We are particularly known for our work on Mini's, from new build classics to FIA eligible race cars.
But we are equally at home with E type Jaguars, Alfa Romeo's and even the occasional Ferrari. So whether you are looking for a simple service, a performance upgrade or a nut and bolt restoration then you can trust Acespeed to deliver.

Services
In addition to race and rally cars we apply the same level of meticulous detail to the servicing, repair and restoration of all makes of classic cars. We have worked on prestige cars including Rolls Royce, Bentley and Ferrari, sports cars from MG, Triumph and Lotus and saloon cars from Alfa Romeo and British Leyland.
We know every nut and bolt of a Mini and that's why many famous names trust us to restore or build a completely new classic Mini. We now offer you the opportunity to build a classic Mini to your specification with your choice of body style, engine, colour and interior. We can build a mini to meet the specification of any racing series you wish to take part in.
There are many ways and it depends upon your particular interests and your budget. We don't recommend that you jump in at the deep end entering a major series and buying a technically complicated car. A little research can save you a lot of money in the long run and we advise that you go and watch lots of different types of motorsport.
Ringo Starr's Mini made its way to our workshop after it was purchased by former Spice Girl, Geri Horner (Helliwell) who bought the 1966 Mini Cooper S Radford at Bonham's for 102,000. I have known Christian Horner for a while and shared cars in some races so we were the obvious choice for recommissioning the car.
The Acespeed R is a new build Mini built to your personal specification. Each build starts with a meeting to choose the key specifications of your car. You choose the body style, paint colour, interior trim, and engine tune to create your own bespoke vehicle. Acespeed Historic Motorsport has been building and restoring road, rally and race Mini's for over 25 years.

Please be Aware of the 5* review’s when I no many people who would not use this garage.
I personally took my vehicle there 6 months ago and was advised it would be £350.
Never called us to discuss any further work and when we went to pick it up the price was £750.
It still never passed there MOT a few weeks later and cost is another £350 .
The car wasn’t worth that.
The original grinding noise is still there what we initially took it in for . Shock horror when we took it to a close friend who is a mechanic . Hardly any of the work we paid wasn’t done.
We trusted this company as they

There was more rust on our MK1 mini shell when we picked it up than when we dropped it off at Acespeed. Many of the parts we took up were lost or damaged. Bolts had been sheared off and 3 were welded back onto a subframe we took up. Everything was rusty. Took us multiple attempts to retrieve all the parts we took up. The staff at Acespeed readily took parts off of other cars and offered them to us. It was very unprofessional and made me wonder if parts we took up were being happily given to other people too.
Would never trust them to do any work for us again.

My “birthmate” 1965 Jaguar MK2 Earls Court Motor Show stand car, is home after being in the hands of the amazing team at Acespeed Historic Motorsport for some detailing and maintenance to keep it in concours condition. It’s very fitting that the car has come back home on our wedding anniversary as three years ago today it had its first post restoration outing transporting me and my beautiful bride during our wedding. I cannot recommend Andy Ace Harrison Darren Hocker Jane Hanworth enough. Andy really understood what I expected and they delivered plus some. The care, professionalism and attention

A proper garage that does a proper job! If you value customer service, value and reliability you won't be disappointed. Have used Acespeed a number of times for my servicing and mot and always find Andy and the team prompt and helpful. Very highly thought of nationally and locally,and this is more than evident when you see the variety and calibre of vehicles they work on. Keep up to good work lads!
