History
Stared in 1975 by Oliver Clubine, BWM was originally started to service and repair SU Carburetors for MG sports cars. That effort quickly grew into an engine building program as demand for maintenance and performance upgrades grew among British sports car enthusiasts. Joining the company in the early ninety’s was son David Clubine who had been building a solid racing resume in Formula Ford. In 1994 Britain West Motorsports began to service, support and rent Formula Ford cars as well as taking on the importing of Dunlop race tires, with sister company Vintage Tyres Limited. By 1999 the company had grown and they became the Van Diemen importer for Canada. Over the years the company has expanded on its’ original location now taking in over 5,000 sq ft along with an off site tire warehouse.
