TOURING
CAR SOUL.

The look that made you fall in love with touring cars. The upgrades that make you want to drive one.

AN INDEPENDENT BRITISH TOURING-CAR-INSPIRED ROAD-CAR CONCEPT1990s / EARLY 2000sDiscover our approach

01 / THE VISION

TOURING-CAR CHARACTER.
BUILT FOR THE ROAD.

A road car with
a touring car’s attitude.

We’re developing a small range of 1990s and 2000s touring-car-inspired builds: distinctive styling, considered mechanical upgrades and a clear record of the work.

Our brief is simple. Keep the character. Improve the drive. Preserve the things that make a car enjoyable on the road, with the option to prepare it for occasional track days.

A new project, built in the open. We’re planning our first demonstrator. The launch platform, workshop and commission dates are not yet confirmed.

01

THE RIGHT LOOK

Period-inspired wheels, stance, body details and graphics—without turning the car into a caricature.

02

UPGRADES WITH A PURPOSE

Chassis, brakes and drivability selected around how you intend to use the car.

03

NOTHING HIDDEN

Condition, changes and workmanship recorded before they disappear behind paint or trim.

02 / CHOOSE YOUR DIRECTION

THREE TIERS.
ONE STANDARD OF CARE.

From a visual transformation to a more focused road-and-track build. Each car starts with an inspection and an agreed specification.

01THE LOOK

VISUAL
ROAD

The touring-car aesthetic.
The road remains the priority.

  • Period-inspired styling and graphics
  • Wheels, road tyres and considered stance
  • Agreed suspension and brake refresh
  • Finishing, inspection and build record

For the enthusiast who wants the character without a more extensive performance build.

03THE OCCASIONAL TRACK DAY

ROAD
+ TRACK

More preparation for the circuit.
Still built around road use.

  • Fast Road foundations
  • Brake-fluid, pad and cooling review
  • Additional monitoring where useful
  • Road/track setup and care guidance

For occasional open track days—not a competition car or a promise of race eligibility.

Included in every build direction: an agreed scope, progress photographs, a parts and work record, documented checks and a vehicle-specific handover.

Illustrative package scopes, not fixed specifications. Donor purchase, substantial restoration, major mechanical repairs and bespoke development are assessed and priced separately. All work and component choices are subject to suitability.

03 / THE INSPIRATION LIST

YOUR ERA.
YOUR STARTING POINT.

These are the platforms we’re assessing—not five finished products already on sale. We’ll launch with a small number, developed and documented properly.

THE DRIVER’S SALOON.

A four-door starting point for a clean, purposeful touring-car look. Our proposed road-focused direction would retain a serviceable production-based mechanical package rather than imitate a works race engine.

Real BTCC cars. Road-going inspiration. The photographs show heritage race cars, not completed Touring Recreations builds. Your recreation will be specified for road use, with styling and engineering agreed around your chosen tier. Final platform support depends on development, donor condition and a viable parts specification. A reference to a model is not confirmation that a package is available.

05 / TWO WAYS TO START

A / CUSTOMER-SUPPLIED

ALREADY HAVE
THE CAR?

Start with the car you own. We’ll assess the condition, discuss your intended use and separate the transformation from any repairs it needs first.

B / SOURCED TO BRIEF

START WITH
THE RIGHT ONE.

We also intend to source suitable donors by agreement. The model, budget, inspection and purchase route would be agreed before any commitment.

05 / FROM IDEA TO HANDOVER

THE TRANSFORMATION.
WITHOUT THE MYSTERY.

One agreed brief. Clear decisions along the way. A record of the work you can take away with the car.

  1. 01

    BRIEF & ASSESS

    Your car, your use and your priorities. Inspect the donor and identify the work needed before the upgrades.

  2. 02

    SPECIFY & AGREE

    Confirm the visual direction, parts, work, exclusions and payment stages. Agree how any additional work is approved.

  3. 03

    BUILD & RECORD

    Complete the agreed work and photograph the transformation, including repairs and installations that will be concealed.

  4. 04

    CHECK & HAND OVER

    Record the agreed checks and setup. Explain the finished car, care requirements and aftercare arrangements.

06 / THE OWNERSHIP RECORD

A BTCC CAR
WITH A PAPER
TRAIL.

The story matters. So does the workmanship beneath it.

Every proposed build would have its own record: where it started, what was found, what was changed, what was measured, and what was checked before handover. We want owners to know exactly what they have — and what they do not.

07 / GOOD QUESTIONS

BEFORE
WE START.

Clear expectations make better builds.

Are these faithful competition replicas?

No. The proposed builds are touring-car-inspired road cars with selected engineering upgrades. We are not offering works-specification recreations, original race provenance or championship eligibility.

Can I still use the car on the road?

Road use is central to the brief. The specification needs to be assessed for the individual vehicle, including any required inspection, registration, emissions, lighting, noise and insurance considerations. We won’t describe a proposed modification as road-approved simply because it is available to buy. Final scope and checks are agreed before work.

How much will a build cost?

We’ll quote against the donor, condition, tier and agreed specification. We are not publishing fixed prices while the demonstrator and repeat-build costs are being established. Donor purchase and significant restoration are separate from the core upgrade scope unless expressly included.

Can I choose the livery and interior?

Yes, the intended process includes agreeing a visual direction, from subtle period-inspired colours to a more expressive touring-car look. Third-party logos and exact sponsor/team liveries are not automatically included. Seats, restraints and any cage proposal need a separate suitability review; a cage or harness is not standard equipment.

What does Road + Track actually mean?

Additional preparation around an agreed road car for occasional non-competitive track days. The organiser’s rules, noise limits, insurance position and vehicle suitability must be checked for each event. It is not a guarantee of entry, unlimited circuit use or competition safety certification.

What happens if you discover extra restoration work?

Our proposed approach is to document the issue and agree the revised scope, cost and timing before carrying out additional work. Significant rust, paint restoration and engine or gearbox repairs are not silently absorbed into a standard conversion package.

Are you taking deposits or confirming build dates?

Not through this preview. We’re at the demonstrator-planning stage and have not confirmed the workshop, launch platform or customer build slots. The planner below helps prepare an initial brief; it does not reserve a car, form a build contract or take payment.

08 / START WITH AN IDEA
