I recently bought a 67 Cooper. On the rocker cover is a sticker from ND Hill Race preparation and the address is Atherstone, Warwickshire. I was wondering if anyone has any knowledge, information photos etc from the business?

Many thanks in advance

Are you sure it is ND Hill? Do you have a picture of the sticker?

There was a Nick Hill who built racing engines somewhere up that way IIRC in the 1980s and 90s. 

 

I knew him from Formula Renault and Clio Cup engines back then.

 

Did the outfit become Hillspeed? Might be worth asking them

To save wasting search time, engine tuners in the 1960s and '70s did not advertise their fax number!

there was no such thing back then. so you need to be looking at businesses that were in existence in the 80s on

Well it's a pre 1995 sticker as it doesn't have an 01 'phone number.
