A renowned manufacturer of high-quality bespoke crankshafts and connecting rods for veteran, vintage, classic and modern vehicles has received more than half-a-million pounds of investment as it enjoys new ownership.

Phoenix Crankshafts has used the financial injection to invest in leading-edge equipment and software to broaden its capability – creating crankshafts that are harder wearing, stronger and more effectively counterweighted. The team has the flexibility to offer bespoke connecting rods with any centres, allowing for fine tuning of compression ratio.

New talent has also joined its team of engineering and manufacturing specialists, ensuring Phoenix Crankshafts can take on any project in a short timescale, whether big or small.

As well as high quality one-off designs for customers in all markets, the team has capability to create bespoke batches for car clubs, trade professionals and parts distributors.

The Phoenix Crankshafts team has worked across a number of popular marques, both on the road and the track, such as Alfa Romeo, Bentley, Bugatti, Ferrari, Ford, MG and Porsche. The team’s high-precision approach has also been called upon for iconic engineering feats including developing the crankshaft for the prototype Bugatti Veyron, TWR’s Le Mans winning Silk Cut V12 Jaguars and reverse engineering a behemoth WW1 Mercedes aero engine system.

Tom Coady, workshop manager at Phoenix Crankshafts in Slough, Berkshire, said: “It’s an exciting time in Phoenix's history. With significant financial investment and a growing team, we’re in a better position than ever to help customers preserve and develop their vehicle.

“Our current customers have the reassurance of knowing that they will continue to be looked after by the specialists in the business, while the new investment is a chance to introduce Phoenix Crankshafts to new customers, showcasing the attention to detail that sets us apart.”

Tom added: “Phoenix Crankshafts has always had a focus on quality, speed and performance, supplying crankshafts direct to the customer or through parts distributors.

“We look forward to continuing to work closely with customers to develop the optimum, bespoke design for them, and help them get the best performance out of their vehicle, both on and off the racetrack.”

Phoenix Crankshafts will be exhibiting at this year’s Classic Motor Show at the NEC, Birmingham, from 8-10 November.
