Hurley Motor Engineering Limited, HME, was started in 1975 by Eamon Hurley to carry out Ford V4 and V6 engine conversions to the first Rotary Engined car the NSU Ro80. The first Ro80 to be converted was his own, this led to a big demand for this conversion because the NSU Rotary was proving to be somewhat unreliable.

Naturally we ended up with an awful lot of NSU Rotary Engines, we had always been involved in drag racing motorcycles, so we decided to build the rotary engined dragbike Concord to use up all the redundant engines.
We often got through 2-3 engines per weekend, but then we started to learn how make the rotary engine more reliable, in the end we were getting 400BHP @ 11,000 RPM and winning races, Best time in 1982, 8.2 @ 164MPH.
The last run we had on Concord was in 1986, when we crashed at 156 MPH (no bones broken, thank God!).

HME also carried out Triumph Stag - Ford V6 Conversions and Triumph TR7 - Ford V6 Conversions.

Our main business now is of course Mazda RX-7 rotary engines, Full engine re-builds plus sport and racing engines .
