ABOUT US

Barnwell Motor Engineering is your Local Independant Jaguar Land Rover Specialist with years of experience.

THE PAST

BME is a family business, started by Steve in the mid 1970’s when the firm he was working for (Aston Martin/Lagonda.) closed.

He was an avid Avid Jaguar fan & had many Mk2 & Mk10 models.

He got into Land Rover vehicles in the early 1980 building, repairing & modifying them for off road sport.

Brandon, as soon as he could see over the bonnet came to join his dad.

On leaving school he joined full time & passed his 3-year B tech course in 18 months.

The firm stopped trading in 1999 when Steve went off to join VOSA as a vehicle examiner, whilst Brandon become an independent garage MOT inspector. Then went on to gain further qualifications & experience working at a local Land Rover/ Jaguar dealership & was contracted to JLR & had been working in the vehicle development, testing & problem-solving divisions, using the most up to date technologies.

THE FUTURE

The business as is now started at its present address in September 2022 using the latest JLR computers etc.

We still maintain & repair ALL JLR vehicles but now mainly concentrate on later models (As we have the diagnostic computers to deal with them).

We are now a Castrol Oil service centre, as JLR recommend their products. Also if the vehicle is still in warranty we will use GENUINE filters so your guarantee is unaffected.

We still run competition vehicles & have a small, sponsored range of Trials & Competitive Safari vehicles that we prepare/repair as needed that compete all over England.

We have over our period at Blakelands increased our tooling & facilities so we can carry out almost all work that is needed. From body off servicing to fitting a new competition roll cage.

From your latest, Hi-Tech JLR product to your LR series vehicle or your Mk2 Jaguar BME have the tools & expertise to repair your vehicles at very competitive prices.
