Welcome to the new Spaven Engineering website. Please bear with us while the full portfolio of work is transferred to the new site. In the meantime, if you have any questions feel free to drop us an email at Fred@SpavenEngineering.co.uk

​

I'm Fred Spaven, an engineer with a passion for all things automotive, from the original vintage and veteran vehicles of the early 20th century right through to the exciting new electric technologies of today.​ Alongside our petrol powered classic restorations and historic motorsport I have recently been working with University College London to build a real pioneer: in April 2024 the "Charging Bullet" became the first ever electric vehicle to complete the MCC's historic 330 mile Land's End reliability trial, run every year since 1908.​

​

Spaven Engineering specialises in making vehicles work well. Whether we need to employ age-old hand-crafting techniques to a cutting-edge prototype or use the latest 3D printing techniques to recreate an unobtainable historic component, we will provide expert service and honest advice.
