Mach#1
Had some dealings with these guys the other day. They were very helpful and very proffesional.
I might of even ordered one of their starter kits if i was at the looking stage again!
Their man, Mark gave me some great setup advice for the Indy and some engine mount info i was after, all happily for free.
They are nowt to do with me, I was just genuinley impressed!
Has anyone bought one of their kits yet? I know its a bit of a rip off of an Indy but the quality looks very good.

I haven't brought a kit either but I did buy a tinted screen and steering wheel last week. The screen came damaged ( probably in transit ) I
phoned them thinking I might have a battle on my hands but the guy ( didn't get his name )just said no problem send it back and we will exchange
:-) I said I was coming down to stonleigh, he said he wasn't going as he had plenty of work on. He did say fit the screen though and he will
give a new screen to a guy who is going. He was very very helpfull and will use them again

Ive found mach1 to be great all the brake bits were ordered and Colin advised me on some of the bits I required.
First class return on emails and telephone calls.
What more could you want

Can only say good things about them (though I can't comment on their kit). I've bought loads of bits off them, including my ZX9 engine.
Mark is a really helpful chap and will always spend time on the phone with you trying to sort a problem. I would certainly recommend them as well.

Same here, I have bought a few bits and bobs and spent time getting advice on the phone. Nice not to be rushed off the phone too. They even phoned me
to give me a "courtesy call" (has anyone else heard of one of those???) to let me know that my seatbelts would be delayed by one day and
thus wouldn't arrive as promised. However, they got them sooner than expected and they did in fact arrive in time. As I always tell suppliers,
it's better to be "late as expected" than "later than expected"...
On that subject, they are still doing the 4-point Sabelt Clubman with pushbutton release and bolted fixings (SVA friendly) for £80 per pair inc vat.
They also do various SVA bits such as p-clips and nut covers and brake bits etc. Very good prices throughout.
Cheers,
Craig.

Northy,
One of the guy's on the forum has them in his photo archive. I'll see if I can find them as I've not fitted mine yet.
Cheers,
Craig.

I didn't buy a kit directly from them. I have been looking for the right kit car for over a year and came across this one. Its one of the
original MK Indy's they built with a few modifications before they developed their kit. I am very impressed.
Best customer service I've ever seen from an "automobile" company. I've had so much advice from them in the past 2 weeks its
unbelievable. Sometimes I'll call them and they won't answer. They haven't got caller ID but I've had Colin do 1471 and call
me back asking who I am and if he can help, who else would do that. Considering they are so busy they do spend a lot of time helping on the phone.
Back to the car, never seen such tidy work in a kit car. Its immaculate. Its so good, as soon as I saw it I didn't even look or hear the engine
start before I parted with my cash.
2 weeks ago I didn't know a thing about engines, all I knew was the original spec that the customer asked for (standard Pinto) wasn't
going to be fast enough. In 2 weeks with telephone calls to Mac1 for advice, I have for swapped the engine.
And here is the icing on the cake. I decided to drive Mavis (the car) up to Mac 1 some 3 weeks ago to have a look at the operation they have there.
From Coventry to Sheffield it was chucking it down, I got soaked. Pulled up to Mac1 and realised the filter, usually sticking out the top of the
bonnet had fallen through and was now 6" lower. Off came the bonnet and we realised the standard MK Indy engine mount had snapped. Well I was in
the right place for that to happen.
Thought I was going to have to get the bus home. BUT.....this wasn't what I was expecting, all 3 of them stopped what they were doing to help
with my car. On went a new engine mount, plus many other niggly bits were sorted and lots of advice later I'm back on the road. Can't
thank the guys or praise them enough.
In fact I'm going to phone them now.
See you guys on Monday at Stoneleigh, come and say hello.

P.S. I've got those harnesses, brilliant at holding me in place.
