A famous few have always done it this way.
From 1948, Harold Radford produced bespoke, coachbuilt cars for a famous, privileged few. This led to legendary projects like the Mini de Ville and the Aston Martin DB5 Shooting Brake — with owners such as Steve McQueen, the Beatles, Peter Sellers and Twiggy, and even Enzo Ferrari himself choosing to commission a very special, one-off vehicle.

Limited Production
Only a highly limited annual allocation of hand-built cars will be produced each year — each one a unique piece of automotive art.
Legacy
Design based on the 1969 Lotus Type 62 race car — a lightweight, purist driver's car.
Beauty
Crafted to incorporate flowing lines and sensuous curves, the Type 62-2 has timeless elegance.
Personal
Co-created with Radford's designers, each commission is a reflection of its owner's vision — down to the last detail.
Four ways to commission it.
W H Y A R A D F O R D
Grand Tourer (GT)
Lotus aluminium chassis, 500 hp — our most compliant ride, for spirited weekend drives and trips away.
Sport
Full carbon chassis, 550 hp — stiffer body and suspension for those who like a firmer ride and the occasional track day.
Track Edition
Full carbon chassis, 600 hp, adjustable suspension and increased aero. A track-focused car inspired by our Pikes Peak monster.
Roadster (Barchetta)
Choice of aluminium or carbon chassis, full open top — for those who like the wind in their hair and unabated engine noise.
