Nicholson McLaren Engines

NME was founded in 1972, followed shortly by F1 World Championship wins in 1974 and 1976. Further successes followed through the 80’s and 90’s in F3000 and Group C2 Le Mans, this success continues today in the FIA Historic Formula One Championship, C2 sports-car racing and Hill Climbing.

Based near Wokingham in Berkshire, Nicholson McLaren not only design, build and develop engines but they also manufacture components within their modern manufacturing facility, which includes two Okuma Mach-Turn 30 turn mill machines, plus a Studer S40 and a Jones and Shipman Dominator grinding machine, and a Mahr Primar MX4 measuring station within the Inspection Department.

The site features four state of the art dynamometer test cells with climate control, plus test rigs for dynamic valve train and airflow rigs. NME also has balancing equipment for crank and cam shafts, an oil analysis laboratory and a crack testing room. In addition to these facilities, the Alternative Fuel Department is involved in the development of systems to convert petrol driven vehicles to also run on Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG). NME import the tried and tested Dutch SGi components and develop conversion systems for UK vehicles. These kits are then supplied to customers via approved installers throughout the UK.

NME future projects include R&D, design, manufacture, build and development of new performance engines, plus further developments in the field of alternative fuels.

NME recently added an aviation division through aquisition and can offer a range of services to operators of Lycoming and Continental piston engines.
