WORKSHOP
WORKSHOP
Engine build | Car preparation | Restoration & build
The engine is the heart of the car – and high-performance engine building sits at the core of everything we do. Our expertise spans three specialist areas:
Heritage Aston Martin
Warren cut his teeth on early Aston Martin engines from the 1950s and 60s – and he’s never really stopped. Today, HEATH is a renowned specialist in mechanical and powertrain engineering for the marque, known for extracting the absolute best from any period Aston Martin powerplant.
Any Aston Martin engine that passes through our workshop carries increased value and reduced risk, thanks to our unrivalled expertise. It’s a seal of approval that guarantees engineering excellence to the highest possible standard – ours.
World Rally Car (WRC)
Warren earned his reputation in the heat of world-class competition – as a race engineer with the legendary Subaru World Rally Team (that's him on the right) during the golden era of Prodrive. He built and prepared full WRC-spec engines and mastered every mechanical detail of these championship-winning machines.
Today, Warren and his expert team apply that same depth of knowledge to help owners of WRC examples realise their car’s full potential – whether it’s for competitive use, track days or concours-level presentation.
From authentic rebuilds to performance optimisation, our workshop brings factory-correct detail, unrivalled engineering precision and the confidence that comes with true WRC pedigree – across Subaru and other iconic marques.
Special projects
Not every car fits neatly into a category – and that’s where HEATH truly comes into its own. From prototype development and one-off restorations to race-ready builds and historically significant recommissions, our workshop is trusted to deliver.
Whether it’s a rare rally prototype, an unusual marque derivative, or a unique commission with specific engineering goals, we bring the same exacting standards and depth of mechanical understanding to every project.
With Warren’s decades of experience across competition and heritage engineering – and a team trained to think beyond the conventional – HEATH is the natural partner for ambitious, complex and technically demanding automotive challenges.
