About Them: Now in our 48th year of performance and vehicle engineering and tuning, Oselli can offer all facilities to the performance and classic car owner.
Oselli the company was born in 1962. It was conceived and started by two then Rover (BMC) engineers under the name of Oxford Engine Services (OES)
As an out and out engineering company it specialised in the tuning and enhancing the performance of MG Rover/BMC products.
Initially improving the performance of the Mini by way of porting and flowing of cylinder heads, fitting large valve heads and then increasing engine capacity.
A market had been identified. As such all other Rover/BMC products MG, Triumph, Austin Healey were all catered for. Oxford Engine Services had become established.
Into the 70's engineering services were in demand. Oxford Engine Services found it's products and services were required for all makes of vehicle. The company expanded and included such manufacturers products such as Ford , Vauxhall and so on.
Interests: With performance enhancement came motor sport. At this time the name Oselli was conceived as being more appropriate with motor sport, it was a derivative of Oxford Engine Services (OES or OSE) with an Italian ring to it (lli).
With the Mini and Ford Escort and Mexico all taking part in track and Rally sport such as the Monte Carlo the name Oselli soon became synonymous with motor sport .As such through out the 70's and 80's the company was associated with all areas fromformula Ford to the Monte.
Through out the 1980's the company thrived moving into large purpose built premises in Oxford (the home of MG). The building including full engineering and machining facilities, engine build and engine dynamometer, vehicle workshops and four wheel drive 750bhp rolling road tuning facilities.
