Did you appreciate that an improvement of 1 mile per gallon on a normal 40/50 hp Rolls Royce in fuel consumption could reduce your fuel costs up to 10%?

The fitting of High Ratio Axle Gears on early vehicles is designed to reduce engine "fuss" and noise by reducing the rpm at speed so enabling these older vehicles to make use of motorways and modern road conditions without the penalty of noise, wear and the consequent high fuel costs. The fitting and installation of High Ratio Gears is an exceptionally specialised field, one in which Hofmann's excels with unrivalled experience and comprehensive tooling. Ratios are chosen after careful experiments and calculations to establish the optimum engine rpm for average modern road speeds ~ now some 20mph faster than pre-war ~ in which the engine torque and power curves fall within the appropriate speed range. The gears are manufactured using original Rolls Royce drawings from material which now exceeds the original Rolls Royce specification and which is heat treated ground and lapped as original.

The advantages speak for themselves!....There is no alteration required to the vehicle's original components nor extra weight, switches or controls. The availability of a higher cruising speed is enabled together with a quieter and smoother journey with 10~15% fuel saved on longer journeys. Also the need to stop for fuel less frequently is an obvious advantage amongst rally drivers and the consequent fuel/cost saving is an advantage with everyone including the planet! The work is guaranteed unconditionally for normal use.
