The CCK Historic online shop offers a range of parts for classic and historic race cars. From our Quaife dog engagement gear kit for the 1275cc Midget, to gaskets, bearings and many more performance orientated products. You'll find our Lenham bodywork as well as parts for the Marcos 1800GT, Group 2 BMW 3.0 CSL and Sebring Sprite.

We've had a run of classic Mini engine rebuilds lately. Both of these started life as standard 1275cc engines but have been brought up to fast road spec. They both have head work, a camshaft upgrade and roller tip rockers. Both crank assemblies have been balanced including the pistons and con rods.

Shaun's success as a racing driver lead him to championship wins in his MG Midgets and Austin-Healey Sprites. Over the years, motorsport became a larger part of the business.

Great communication and even greater job on my much loved E30 BMW, making sure that the chassis and body has many more years left in her

A fantastic place for restoration or full rebuild. These guys have looked after all of my race cars, including a full rebuild of a barn find. I cannot recommend highly enough.

Superb experience from start to finish. Highly-knowledgeable, utterly professional, but down-to-earth and great at communication too. Really can't recommend these guys highly enough.

Graham did a great job on our 1963 racing MG Midget. In our rolling road session he diagnosed an issue with our electronic ignition which was affecting performance and after fitting a new unit finely tuned the car. It performed faultlessly in our first race weekend at Snetterton bringing us home 8th overall and 2nd in class in our first ever race in this car. Thanks Graham.

Took my 1966 Beach Buggy to cck historic as it was running really rough and 3 previous mechanics were unable to fix it. They put it on the rolling road, adjusted and altered the carburettor and managed to double its HP from 27 to 60hp and its now running like a dream! Many thanks to a very helpful team!
