Expert Engineering Solutions for Motorsport & Automotive Innovation
Mathwall Engineering was established in 1967 by Stuart Mathieson and Peter Wallace, former engineers from Alan Mann Racing. Our journey began in a small workshop in Surrey, where we prepared our first racing car for competition. Over five decades, we have evolved into a respected engineering firm, delivering innovative solutions across automotive, motorsport, and low-carbon technology sectors. Our expertise in internal combustion engines, honed through historic racing projects, now extends to hybrid and electric systems. We pride ourselves on combining technical excellence with a pragmatic approach to solve complex engineering challenges. Our team's deep experience in design, analysis, testing, and production ensures tailored solutions for niche and volume manufacturing.With a legacy of pioneering projects, including the first Lotus Esprit Turbo, we continue to apply our engineering heritage to modern technological demands. Our commitment to quality is reflected in our reverse engineering, reconditioning, and supply of FIA Appendix K-compliant historic racing engines. We maintain strong relationships with global suppliers and operate state-of-the-art test facilities to support our clients' development needs. Our dedication to innovation and customer satisfaction has made us a trusted partner in engineering excellence.
