Many years ago, Abingdon was the source of all motorsport developments for the Classic Mini. It produced properly designed, developed and manufactured products to a high quality yet at reasonable cost to the enthusiast. It also offered a wealth of useful information that it gave freely to all enthusiasts. The company evolved over time from its humble beginnings to the giant killing Minis of the 1960s through to the early seventies, the name evolving with it from Abingdon Special Vehicles, through Abingdon Special Tuning to Leyland Special Tuning – the latter producing the familiar and respected ‘ST’ logo. Emulating those ethics and achievements has been paramount in my work ethic, the evolution of my own efforts culminating in this new company – Calver Special Tuning.

Calver Special Tuning will endeavour to continue research and development in all areas and search for not commonly known about products from other companies that are proven worthy of mention to keep the Classic Mini, MG Midget & A-H Sprites not only alive, but in front!

 Calver Special Tuning offers –

• Quality products for sale that have been tried, tested and proven to give improved performance – either developed by CalverST or selected/approved products from other sources.

• Extensive library of information for the Mini owner/enthusiast and A-series engine user Regular up-dates on what’s brewing and what’s new, for both CalverST products and other suppliers

• Links to companies I believe can offer you quality and service in their relevant field

• Race reports from my endeavours in my 1275GT competing in the Pre-1974 Classic Touring Car series
