Powerlite & Goodwood Mini encounter
Powerlite starter motors to the fore in epic Goodwood Mini encounter.
Spectators at the recent 77th Members Meeting at Goodwood were treated to an incredible display of racing by the worlds finest exponents of Mini racing. 60 Minis were assembled at the famous West Sussex venue to cele-brate the 60th anniversary of the iconic Mini. Two 30 car ‘semi-finals’ on the Saturday created an aggregate final grid on the Sunday for the fastest 30. What then transpired was a race that will be talked about for years and has already no doubt, gone down as one of the highest of highlights since the classic venue re-started it’s motor rac-ing activities. From the 60 cars entered, over 80% of the grid used Powerlite starter motors with the top 6 in that final all using the products. Nick Swift, Nick Padmore, Jonathan Lewis, Ian Curley, Darren Turner, et al , provided 20 minutes of heart in the mouth stuff, only settled in the last few yards of the race. The first four cars crossing the line covered by less than a second. Thank you to everyone who made the meeting such an incredible event and just to say that we had played a small part in it makes us hugely proud.

For the majority of cars with the Ford Taunus V4 & Cologne V6 engine this is a massive improvement over the original and is a direct fit replacement. So perfect for the Capri Power, Reliant Scimitar, Saab 96 and Ford Granada and many more! Keeping your dream alive!
Is there money in old starters?
Is there money in old starters and dynamos? Well, there is if you look closely enough.... Whilst our remanufacturing department were performing another amazing rebuild on the original units for a 1936 Singer 9 Sports, they uncovered a fabulous wartime fix by using a 1940 minted Ha'penny! So, from the year of the "Battle of Britain" and emphasising the spirit of "MAKE DO AND MEND" a clever modification has kept this starter going for years. Incredible!!
