Bob Dove spent over 40 years in motorsport. Within this time, in 1980, he joined the Alfa Romeo dealer team to help build and run cars. From this, he was involved in the BTCC (British Touring Car Championship) along with many other events. Bob formed a good driver/engineer relationship with Jon Dooley (

The main driver for Alfa Romeo). They went on to win many races and finish 3rd overall and win class A in the 1981 BTCC. Fast forward to 2022 and Bob has passed his knowledge and understanding of cars and motorsport onto his two sons Paul and Mikey. Of which, have both excelled in their own passions in motorsport in both their own careers and hobbies due to the passion handed down by their father Bob Dove.

Lovely Alfa Romeo 1750 GTV we had in recently for a number of small jobs.

The car was first brought to us earlier in the year as the engine had been rebuilt and needed the ignition timing and carburettors set up so the customer could do some running in miles.

With the running in miles now completed, the car returned for an oil and filter change. We also inspected the oil filter for any metal debris.

Finally we refitted an original steering wheel, replacing an aftermarket unit and returning the interior to a more authentic specification.

If you’re interested in having some work done by us please give us a call or email. We don’t just do Alfas we do all classic cars and up to more modern 90s cars and a wide variation of engines.

Lovely Alfa Romeo 2000 GTV we had in a few weeks ago.
The customer had recently rebuilt the 2 litre engine himself with fast road camshafts and wanted us to setup it up correctly and road tune it.

A wide band lambda sensor comes in very handy for this so we could get the fueling on part and full throttle correct throughout the rev range.
This was a little tricky to setup due to having some very high lift camshafts in the engine but we ended up changing the emulsion tubes along with air correctors and pump jets to give us a much smoother engine for the road.

As well as fueling we setup the 123 Bluetooth distributor with our own ignition curve and tweaked it to the engine spec.

While we had the car we changed 4 steering ball joints and the passenger side lower arm bushes due to excessive play. The car was then taken to tracking and road tested before handing the car back over to the customer for his long drive back home.

Lovely Alfa Romeo 2600 we had in few weeks ago for various jobs.

The main job being a gearbox rebuild due to gear selection problems and transmission noise while driving. We found some worn inner synchro rings which were changed and replaced the front main shaft bearing. Bell housing seal and tail casing seal were also changed.
Always a pain to remove the gearbox on these but we found a method without having to remove the engine.

As well as the gearbox rebuild the customer asked us to get his gauges working even though they had been rebuilt previously.

After some investigating we found some poor wiring which was rectified and then fitted the correct coolant temperature sensor.
The fuel gauge is now working by un-seizing the sender unit and actually earthing it to the Body of the car.

The engine also had some running issues which we narrowed down to the distributor cap and the correct grade spark plugs were fitted.

If you’re interested in having some work done by us please give us a call or email. We don’t just do Alfas we do all classic cars and up to more modern 90s cars and a wide variation of engines.
