SCHOLAR ENGINES – ESTABLISHED 1968

Scholar Engines was formed in September 1968 to produce modified performance road, race, rally and various competition engines. During this period of time we have gained an enviable record for producing highly competitive cost effective engines.

As engine re-conditioners, we can rebuild almost any post-war classic engine, providing parts are available. Modern engines are also catered for from road to race. As a fully-equipped machine shop, we can provide a wide-range of machining services to a diverse customer base from home DIY enthusiasts to local garages and farmers who sometimes have emergency needs in our rural location!

Scholar Power is our trademark for motorsport related engine works carried out here at Scholar Engines. If you see the Scholar Power logo, then you can be sure the engine has been built by us!

It’s impossible to feature images of all the engines and works we carry out, but here are just a few. For more about our history and the people involved you can find it on our HISTORY page!
