Anglo American Oil Company is delighted to announce that it has acquired the Classic Fuel Solutions brand, a leader in the classic motorcycle racing market over the past five years.
Classic Fuel Solutions (CFS), derived from an oil company and created by a classic vehicle enthusiast, has built a foothold for itself in the classic motorcycle racing world thanks to a desire to develop a fuel which would lead to the elimination of problems owing to ethanol and a lack of lead in modern petrol.
Anglo American Oil Company (AAOC) meanwhile, owns and operates a modern racing fuel blending plant in Poole, Dorset. With an existing focus on modern and historic car racing, it is well positioned to expand into the motorcycle market while helping to boost the presence and popularity of CFS products.
It will take over the blending of CFS’ Formula 105 high octane, ethanol free leaded racing fuel, with the first blends being produced early in December 2022. This will ensure the quality of the fuel remains at the highest possible standards in line with all other fuels blended at the plant and its purpose-built warehouse will mean rapid distribution of Formula 105 to both new and existing customers.
AAOC continues to represent and distribute Sunoco Race fuels on an exclusive basis through its European and Middle Eastern distributors and is also the European and Middle Eastern agent for Driven Racing Oil, as well as supplying PJ1 track compounds (drag racing strip treatments), and SONAX cleaning products.
In addition, it has also created its own R brand of fuels and oils and Aspen brand, which provides low-emission fuels for hand-held, petrol-driven engines and diesel-powered construction plant machinery.
Anders Hildebrand, founder, Anglo American Oil Company Ltd
“We are very excited to take over the mantel of promoting the Classic Fuel Solutions brand, not only on the UK market but also in Europe and in the Middle East, alongside Sunoco and R racing fuels.
“We believe that with our expertise and experience we can add to what Chris and Debbie have achieved in just five years and quickly grow the brand. We’ve already decided to rebrand the R Storage fuels to Classic Fuel Solutions Storage Plus and Classic Fuel Solutions Storage 5-Star to broaden the brand. These increasingly popular two storage fuels are currently being offered through over 500 garden machinery dealers.”

“It was a tough decision to hand over the Classic Fuel Solutions brand, but we believe that we’ve have found the perfect company to continue our work. Anglo American Oil Company has all the experience and an amazing blending plant to enable a smooth transition, so we are excited to see how the brand will develop in the future.”
