Find The Muscle Car Of Your Dreams With MotiV8 Vehicles

MotiV8 Vehicles specialises in tracking down the muscle car of your dreams, importing it to the UK, and making it handle, stop and perform like a modern-day car. In between American car servicing work and sourcing and modernising cars for various customers, MotiV8 Vehicles collaborated with BBC Top Gear's Richard Hammond to locate the car of his dreams - a 1969 Dodge Charger that MotiV8 Vehicles imported and are now in the process of 'modernising' for him.

This car has a 440cu in (7.2L) V8 engine, a four-speed "pistol-grip" manual gearbox and a Dana limited-slip differential - all highly desirable muscle car options. To this potent package Alex has now added a racing disc brake conversion with four-piston callipers, a set of Koni adjustable dampers, a custom-made power steering box to improve weight and feel, an electronic ignition conversion, a polished stainless exhaust and a set of custom-made rims shod with low-profile tyres measuring 17x 245 at the front and 18x 285 at the rear. After fitting and set up, the result is a car that, in spite of its vast proportions, now feels, stops and turns like no other Dodge Charger, while the change in ride height and rolling stock emphasises the aggressive good looks of the original car.

MotiV8 Vehicles has contacts in the US for checking out muscle cars in advance, so potential owners do not need to purchase blind. Additionally, the company is able to source all types of American vehicles, from pristine show cars to - as in the case of the Dodge - a sensibly priced, good-running basis for a long-term project. MotiV8's main product is "Modernised Muscle", and can supply and fit a large number of modern technology handling components to really make use of your muscle car!
