Classic Car Tuning: More Than Just a Fresh Coat of Paint

At Llandow Tuning, we've seen it all. From the humble Ford Pinto to pre-war machines and high-strung Ferrari V8s, we've tuned them, optimized them, and brought them back to life. Our expertise spans a wide range of vehicles, including Aston Martins, Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Maseratis, Austins, Minis, and more.

Whether it’s refining the fueling on a classic Weber-carbureted Ferrari, perfecting the ignition timing on a vintage Aston Martin, or ensuring a Mini Cooper’s A-Series engine runs crisp and clean, we’ve done it all.

The Problem with Many Restoration Shops

In recent years, a number of classic car restoration centers have popped up across the UK. Many of them do great bodywork, but when it comes to the mechanical side, they often fall short.

If you want the very best cut of meat, you go to a butcher, not a supermarket that sells everything. The same logic applies to classic car tuning. Unless you have the budget for the very best specialized restoration centers, a generic “fix-all” classic restoration shop will likely give you a second-rate job.

The Llandow Tuning Difference

• Emission Testing Gear – Essential for dialing in fuel mixtures.
• Dynos for Load Testing – To simulate real-world performance.
• Extensive Carburetor Jet Collection – Fine-tuning for optimal performance.
• Ignition Timing Tools & Technical Data – For precision adjustments.
• Crypton Tuning Machine – Classic tuning with modern precision.
• In-Cylinder Pressure Analysis – Advanced tuning that most shops can’t match.

Expertise That Goes Beyond Guesswork

Most restoration shops employ great welders and panel beaters, but can they diagnose why your twin SU carb setup is running lean? Can they measure combustion pressure to optimize efficiency? No? Thought so.

The Bottom Line

If you want a classic car that not only looks the part but runs like it should, trust the experts. At Llandow Tuning, we have the knowledge, the tools, and the passion to make your classic perform the way it was meant to.

Don’t settle for second best—bring your classic to the people who actually know how to tune them.
