Vincent [2] (United Kingdom) - AllCarIndex

Vincent MPH was a British specialist maker of Riley-inspired sports car replicas that emerged in the mid-1980s and operated under Dwornik Engineering in Horton-cum-Studley, Oxford, England. The model traced its concept to motoring journalist Martin Vincent and was further engineered and put into production by aircraft and race-car engineer Toni Dwornik. The company offered two closely related variants—MPH (full wings with running boards) and Brooklands (cycle wings)—styled after 1930s Riley competition roadsters. Early cars dated from 1984, with major revisions from 1987 that included reworked front and rear suspensions with unequal-length links, chassis stiffening with an X-member, lighter 15-inch wheels, and extended doors to ease access. Construction featured a jig-assembled, MIG-welded box-section steel chassis and composite body with an aluminium bonnet. The cars participated in British trials competition; the Vincent MPH and Brooklands were accepted by the ACTC in Class 7 and were campaigned in events such as the MCC Lands End Trial.

The marque remained a low-volume producer for more than three decades, selling self-build kits and factory-built examples. By the early 2010s updates such as a wider footwell appeared, but manufacturing later ceased on the proprietor’s retirement; occasional completed cars were subsequently offered from stock. Ownership rested with Dwornik Engineering, which handled sales, service and race preparation.
