We're
a small business based near Stroud, Gloucestershire that specialises
in repairing and rewinding automobile magnetos. We have been repairing
magnetos for a considerable number of years, and are known for a
fast and efficient service.
A little
more about the people involved:
John
Tanner, owner and proprietor, comes from a lifetime in electronics
and electrics. Following his departure from Link Electronics Ltd.,
the company he founded with partner David Mann, and the last UK
company to manufacture broadcast colour television cameras, he purchased
the remains of the old Magneto Repairs, Lighting and Ignition Company
from the estate of the late Dorothy Marjoram in 1986. The company
dates from 1918 and during its lifetime was a major Lucas agent
in North London, as well as being an appointed supplier of specialist
parts to Rolls-Royce. In the twelve years under his ownership the
magneto and ignition side has been revived, coil winding brought
back ‘in house’, and a enviable reputation built up for high performance,
sensibly priced, magneto rebuilds.

Andrew
Watt, great nephew of Louis Coatalen - chief engineer of the
Sunbeam company and designer of the famous land speed record cars
in the 1920’s - is a historical consultant to the company. Disabled
following his accident when descending Reigate hill out of control
with brake failure in his 1897 Leon Bollee, and subsequently receiving
a head injury from a falling chimney his day to day involvement
is minimal, but his extensive knowledge of motoring history and
enthusiastic involvement in the vintage and veteran motoring world
remains a valuable asset to the company.

As
well as turning disintegrated magnetos into good-as-new, working
units, with our specialist equipment we are able to tackle many
other miscellaneous coil-rewinding tasks.
