Vehicle storage for classic and performance vehicles
Team CarSafe have very much enjoyed racing within the Equipe Classic series over the past few years with many a good battle had on the track.
Off the track the pace of life is much slower as we carefully manoeuvre vehicles into position in our car storage facility.
Being racers, enthusiasts, collectors and petrol heads in general, we saw a gap in the market for a new kind of five-star bespoke vehicle storage facility, think secure hotel for cars.
CarSafe is at a rural location with capacity for over 200 vehicles, providing exceptional levels of security, dehumidified and carpeted storage areas, ready to receive your vehicle into our expert hands.
The last few years has seen demand steadily grow as more and more people have started to invest and collect, and want their vehicles treated with professionalism and care, as if they were our own.
We would be happy to look after any race and road cars, and can provide a collection and delivery from any location worldwide.
So if you would like us to look after your pride and joy, please visit www.carsafe.co.uk call us on 01223 299011 email us at hello@carsafe.co.uk or come and talk to us trackside to see how we can help.
MG Motorsport Ltd was set up in 1990 by Doug Smith to service and supply parts to owners of later MGs, especially the MGC for which he had developed several improved and performance parts. The business gradually expanded to include building “new” MGBs and Cs as well as restoration, road and race preparation, and standard and performance parts for most of the post 1955 MG models.
Tom, Doug’s son, works in the business and is a successful multiple race winner in his MGB Historic car, 297 EFU. We work to the highest standards, rebuilding engines, gearboxes and most mechanical components in-house, as well as having our own bodyshop producing first class work.
We are currently working on our 55th MGB Historic Racer to FIA specification.
We can be contacted by phone 01442 832019, 07469 176977 or by email: mail@mgmotorsport.com

An introduction to Jaz Porsche ltd
Some of you fellow racers may be aware that we, as a company, have been sponsoring Equipe Classic Racing for the last two years. We are committed, as many of you are, to see the series grow as it has a fabulous atmosphere and a great camaraderie amongst the competitors as well as close well-structured racing.
What has also come to light is the fact that some competitors may not be aware of what we actually do in within our business. Jaz Porsche was started by Steve Winter in 1991 in its original premises in Wembley. We have always constructed race cars and been ever present at all the race tracks in the UK and over Europe winning many races and championships mainly within Porsche Club GB. Four years ago we finally made the move to bigger premises in St. Albans. We have never looked back and the business has grown beyond expectations.
Whilst we do look after several race cars you should be aware that our main business is the service, repair and restoration of all Porsche models from the lovely 356 right up to the modern 991 as well as Cayenne and Macan. We have good local links for bodywork repairs that we manage on your behalf – trim work, detailing, a/c repairs, wheel alignment, engine and gearbox rebuilds – basically anything you need to keep your Porsche on the road and more.
So, if we can be of any service please contact us either via our website contact form, facebook, Instagram or by good old telephone.

Hawker Restorations began as AJD Engineering, founded in 1987 by vintage aircraft enthusiast and electronics expert Tony Ditheridge, toolmaker Graham Self and carpenter Richard Watson, with the intention of restoring WWI fighters and high-performance racing and aerobatic aeroplanes
Our hangars currently hold three Hurricanes. One is a Battle of France survivor and the others are Battle of Britain fighters. One of these is being reconfigured as a two-seater, only the second ever built, in order that more enthusiasts may enjoy the extremely rare privilege of flying in the aircraft that saved Britain, and arguably the world, in the summer of 1940
