Important Announcement BEC Centre Now Open
Hi
thought Id let everyone know I have opened the Bike Engine Car Centre in the West Mids official Build Agents for MNR Racing.
We specialise in full builds, Engine conversions and SVA's.
We can also finish your car if you are not in a position to do so.
I started off working from home but then suddenly had 3 cars on the go through word of mouth.. decided it would be a good move to get a small unit,
found one a mile from jct 13 M6.
I currently have 8 cars Im working on / building.
Hart Caterham Busa conversion
MNR Vortx Zetec
MNR Vortx Fireblade
MNR Vortx r1
MK R1 conversion
Westfield ZX10r conversion
MK Hayabusa
MK 893 Fireblade
MK R1 with NOS
were in the process of sorting an MNR demo car
I am also making finance available on the Vortx RT Inboard ie a brand new on the road car starting from £12,995.. a relatively unheard of option in
the Kit Car industry!
Its took off really well and I have a pretty busy start to the year with turn key cars and more engine conversions on the way..
We will be offering package deals on certain items next month and build it up from there.. I shall also be supplying exhausts etc
the BEC owners club site will be getting a major revamp asap to cater for both the club and workshop in one
*R1 engine conversion anyone who books before february the 10th can take advantage of this price*

Where's that then. I lived in Stafford for a while. I don't recall many industrial units near there.

Is that caterfield the one Martin did?
If so, it really was an awesome looking track day tool - and that was without an engine in it.

Just to add my good wishes, for Chris and for everyone on here with the bottle to go it alone. I spent a very hard year last year getting my telecoms
and IT business going and it's still touch and go.
Partly for this reason, and also because I want a good job done, I always seek out people who sell me on the quality of what they offer and offer a
good customer experience. Chris did that in spades and when the job's done I'll be happy to act as a reference and let people see the car.
Mine's no garage queen so the new shiny bits will be Chris' doing.
If all has gone to plan I'll be picking it up in the next few days. Can't wait!
