Radford, the coachbuilding brand that was recently revived by former F1 champ Jenson Button, TV presenter and car builder Ant Anstead, car designer Mark Stubbs, and lawyer Roger Behle, has announced its new partnership with Lotus Engineering.

The company’s new limited-edition model will be heavily inspired by the 1969 Lotus Type 62 and will use “Lotus technology”, with Radford not revealing further details.

“Our first Radford model is going to be something very special and very surprising, reminiscent of the opulent coachbuilt Radford models of the past,” said Ant Anstead.

“It’s going to be truly analogue and thoroughly engaging, but with all the refinements that you would expect from a Radford,” added Jenson Button.

“A limited run of the most special of coachbuilt vehicles is engineering nirvana as it allows us to break free of the usual parameters of a more conventional project,” said Matt Windle, Managing Director of Lotus Cars.
