About Us
Swiftune celebrates its 42nd year at the top of Mini motorsport in 2007 - Over its 42 year history Swiftune has firmly established itself as the leading Mini race engine builder. Since the 1965 our engines have been powering Minis to championship and race wins on the national and international stage.
Still out in front
And Swiftune engines are still out in front today with back-to-back wins in the Dunlop Dunlop Mini Miglia Championship (2006,2007). Whether it is in Mini Miglias, historic racing, rallying, or countless national and regional championships around the world, lift the bonnet of a race winning Mini and you will probably see a Swiftune engine.
Not just Minis!

Asked to describe Swiftune's approach to engine building 2006 Dunlop Mini Miglia champion Bill Sollis said: "Their passion is racing and they want every engine to go out the door as a potential winner.
