Sixty-five years ago, the humble Austin Healey Sprite became a legendarily fun and competitive car. To progress this legacy, we founded Q1 Classic Engineering to develop more capable, more resilient, and more smile-inducing Sprites.

If you’re a British car enthusiast who is restoring a stock car, modifying for fast road driving, or developing an autocross or vintage racing machine, or if you need custom machining for your British car, Q1 Classic Engineering is your hub for innovative parts and bespoke solutions.

Contact us today to get help with your project.
