Brackley-based KW Special Projects, which provides high-performance engineering solutions, has expanded its services in the bespoke restoration sector by launching KW Heritage Engineering (
www.kwspecialprojects.com/kw-heritage).
This will provide everything from digital capturing and archiving — the ability to scan individual vehicle components and the entire vehicle exterior to generate vital rebuild data — to design and engineering, manufacturing, assembly and inspection for both road and track.
By marrying cutting-edge manufacturing techniques with traditional craftsmanship, the company can deliver an end-to-end solution for the restoration and optimisation of historic vehicles.Edward Smith has been appointed ‘head of heritage engineering’.
Tasked with developing the brand and meeting the global demand for restoration and optimisation solutions, he will be fully supported by KWSP’s team of highly skilled engineers.
With more than 20 years’ experience in motor-sport engineering, Mr Smith joins from Palmersport, where he oversaw a variety of racing-car and performance-vehicle projects.
Kieron Salter, managing director of KWSP, added: “We have considerable experience in the sector under the KWSP umbrella, and we have already completed several heritage projects, including bringing a rare Alfa Romeo Tipo back to life and restoring an Amilcar C6 to its former glory.”
