Keep your classic car running as it should with specialist engine tuning from an experienced Crypton technician.
With 47 years of hands-on experience, I help classic car owners diagnose running problems, fine-tune carburettors, balance multiple carburettors and optimise ignition systems.
Using the Crypton CMT 2000 diagnostic system, I work on a wide range of classic vehicles, from cherished British sports cars to American classics and kit cars.


Classic cars need a different approach from modern vehicles. Carburettors, distributors, ignition components and mechanical fuel systems require specialist knowledge and careful adjustment.
With decades of experience working with these systems, I provide a practical, diagnostic-led service designed to identify problems and get your engine running as well as its condition allows.
Whatever the symptom, I can help investigate the cause and advise on the next steps.

Specialist engine tuning for classic British, American and European cars, including ignition checks, timing adjustments and carburettor setup.

Fine-tuning and balancing single or multiple carburettors to help achieve smoother running, consistent throttle response and efficient combustion.

Dedicated tuning services for classic MG models and classic Minis, with attention to their particular engine, carburettor and ignition requirements.

Electronic engine management programming for compatible modern vehicles, using professional AutoTuner and Magicmotorsport FLEX equipment.
The Crypton CMT 2000 is central to my classic car tuning work. Its diagnostic capabilities help assess ignition performance, identify misfires and investigate problems that may be difficult to find through adjustments alone.
Combined with practical experience, suitable vacuum gauges and exhaust gas analysis equipment, it helps me assess the engine’s condition before making adjustments.
The aim is to understand how your engine is performing, identify issues where possible and tune it to the appropriate specifications for the vehicle.
