z cars workshop Tucked away in the hamlet of Aldborough, just north of Hull are the incredible Z Cars workshops: A boys’ toy paradise. In addition to the mad Mini race, Vtec and bike engine conversions, born out of grasstrack racing engineering, Z cars specialise in bringing crazy cars to life. They offer fast road, race, rally, kit cars and full-on project builds and have full fabrication, machining, welding, paint and dyno facilities on site. Some of the projects on the go we saw on our visit with Tim included a TVR Cerbera with a tuned Nissan Skyline RB26 lump and 4WD running gear, unbelievable twin turbo Ultima with over 800bhp, Fiat 500 with bike engines, VW Golf GTi with space frame and supercharged Vtec engine etc. The list is endless, as is the limit of their engineering know-how and vision. Their latest ‘Universal kit’ converts any FWD car into a rear-wheel-drive, mid-engined animal, for the road. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Got a mad vision for your ultimate motor? Z Cars can bring it alive. Ace!
