2024 YEAR REVIEW
 

Before we celebrate the year, we will start with the low.
Earlier this year, we lost our good friend and colleague after a long battle. He was an exceptional friend throughout the years and a hard worker. We found it hard to pick up the pieces but after years of him building up the machine shop it would be very disrespectful to have let it suffer. We appreciate the patience shown by those whose builds were affected and the support offered.
 

Christmas has finally come around, it is our favourite time of year where we get to close our doors and see our families. We do not close our doors throughout the year and work exceptionally hard to try and meet all of the demands put on our machine shop and build shop. As the year draws to an end we always like to write a year review, to share with you all the highs and sometimes the lows that come with it. 2024 has been an incredible year, we have made some great new friends along the way.

We have finished 2024 very strong. This year has seen a lot of changes. At the start of the year we were still moving to our new premises, we had originally seen the premises in May 2023 but through solicitors and other things it took until November to finally get the keys and then with the fit out, machine moving and set up it was March before we knew it. Since getting the machines fired up, we have not looked back.
We have supplied another 70 engines into the classic car world and machined countless others, ensuring many more happy motoring years for our clients.

One of the reasons for the move to larger premises was that we planned to engage more with our trade clients. The idea behind this is simple, we are a small team and dealing with several specialist outlets takes considerably less time than dealing with 100’s of individual clients. This means that we can devote more time to our machining and builds with regular orders from trade, which in turn brings the lead times down. We have known for sometime that we are not always on hand to answer emails and phone calls, this is due entirely to the fact that there are only 2-3 of us at anytime and the workload requires us to be on the machines or in the build shop, this year especially this has seen us working from 8am through to 9-10pm. We have previously tried to have someone on the customer service side and it always requires one of us to keep being pulled away to answer questions.

During 2024, we have managed to partner up with some of the worlds leading Classic Car specialists, offering packages from standard road through to fast road and track options along with machined components for them to hold on the shelf. This means that we can start to divert customers to a specialist more local to them, which will also give them a local support system for everything from installation, components and servicing. With outlets now set up in the USA and UK we are looking for opportunities in Europe. These changes have meant that we have strong growth opportunities moving forward with increased capacity, quicker turn around times and a wider range of services. We will begin to publicise these new outlets throughout January when we implement some changes to the websites.

Along side these big changes we have also been extremely busy doing what we do best, building Road, Performance Road and Race engines. We have surpassed 890 builds on our all time charts now with the next big milestone being the 1000 mark, that in itself is something we are very proud of. 2024 also saw us expand our race activities with more than 20 race engines heading out into several classic race championships globally. We have seen our engines pick up overall race wins and podium finishes, drivers beating their previous records and great reliability.

We are excited to share the news that we have an experienced engine builder joining our small team part time, he has a keen passion for classic Ford engines and has been building them for more than 20 years. We are also pleased to say we have a young member joining us from the local engineering college. Working the machines with us to gain hands on experience and pursue a career in the trade.

With 2025 shaping up to be the biggest and best year for MCCS the build shop and office staff are going to enjoy some much needed time with their young families. Our office and build shop will be closed from 20th December - 13th January. Our machine shop will be back putting your engines through from 2nd January.

Thank you to those who have joined us on this incredible journey through 2024 and already signed up for Road or Race engines for 2025. We have lots of exciting projects going through build at the moment. You will see lots of MCCS engines on the circuits and hitting the hills in 25!

FESTIVE OFFER

We have been looking at the demands for our engines and the current split between Trade, Race and Private customer builds. In a typical year we build approx 60 road engines and then Race units on top. From the start of 2025, we are going to be releasing a fixed amount of engine build slots for private customers for the year. . We are currently thinking with the increased trade and race commitments we are going to release 20 slots for private individuals. We will offer these on the following terms:

• If you would like to place an order for a built up engine with a 12 month lead time (up to 12 months), we will offer you a 10% discount on the current price if ordered and deposit paid before 13th January when we return.

• If you require an engine on a 6 month lead time (standard turnaround) then this can be ordered at the price shown on the website.

​

Please contact us at mccs.engineering@gmail.com if you would like to discuss any engine options. The 20 build slots will be taken on a first come first served basis. If capacity allows we may review during the year.
