Radford Racing

Radford Racing are Classic Car race car preparers and Classic car restorers. We restore all Classic cars ranging from Ferrari's to Rolls Royce’s.

The origins of Radford Racing started in 1947 by the now owners father. His own upbringing was though the motor trade in the 1930's and 40's where he worked for a specialist garage in Hampstead North London looking after exotics of the day and chauffeuring around such notable people as the relatives of the Count Zborowski and the like. Thus his interest in Motor Sport started at that time with visits with these clients to the Brooklands track. After service in World War 2 as a senior tank inspector and tester . He ventured out on his own with backing from a Mr Wyatt who at that time owned the foremost private detective agency in the UK as well as being house detective of the RAC club in Pall Mall. Dad being a superb driver had done some high speed driving for him in the past. All rather James Bond stuff in that period of time. Mr Wyatt stayed a friend and client until his death in the '60's. Dad retained his RAC Motor Sport membership and his Advance drivers right up until his death in 1989.
After ourselves finding it more and more difficult to drive and test the type of vehicles we specialized in within the confines of the Hampstead area we moved in the late '90's to a suitable premises in Iver, Buckinghamshire where we renamed ourselves more in keeping with the Racing which seemed to take up 99% of our workload. The name taken from the 1st owner of the most famous Jaguar Mark 2 we raced where his team was called "Radford Racing" as his mechanics were working for Harold Radford Coachbuilders at the time. However a further 15 years on we moved again (Hopefully for the final time) into leafy Berkshire where both the racing and our restoration business continues to flourish now joined by 3rd generation family member looking after Radford Restorations side of the company.
