Colin Blower Motorsport was
established in 1973 when Colin Blower built his own MGB for the production car
championship. Since then has been successful with Lotus, Mitsubishi, Porsche and
of course TVR from 1974. Not only has he prepared cars for himself but for other
highly respected customers as well, winning over 200 races and 9 championships
in that time.
Because
of the increasing demand of specialist work which has grown and grown, In 1990
the need arose to move the business into a large purpose built workshop
specifically tailored for the increased demand of race preparation, which still
continues to grow. Investing in the very latest high-tech equipment and leading
to both businesses complementing each other.
The racing
side of the business has grown out of all proportion and has led to considerable
success both on and off the track. With drivers of the calibre of Tiff Needell,
Thomas Erdos, Jamie Campbell-Walter, Gerry Marshall, Chris Hodgetts, Jason
Yeomans and John Kent amongst many others who have witnessed the way in which
Colin Blower Motorsports works.
Having built Colin Blower
Motorsport into one of the most respected preparation companies in the country,
dealing not only with the TVR Tuscan Challenge, but other motorsport projects as
well, including a GT programme, which has earned the admiration and respect of
many of the well known names in GT racing.
