Lister, founded in 1954, produced Britain’s most successful sports racing car of the 1950's, the Lister-Jaguar. The 'Cars from Cambridge' were designed, and built by racing driver Brian Lister, his big break coming when he was offered the engines and gearboxes by William Lyons from the retiring Jaguar D Types. Lyons was correct in believing that Lister would be capable of developing a race winning car, thus keeping the Jaguar name in the forefront of racing, at little cost to Jaguar and so Lister-Jaguar was born. Brian Lister designed and built a new lightweight and aerodynamic chassis and ‘knobbly’ body to take the Jaguar drive train and the world’s best sports racing car of the 1950’s was born! For five seasons from 1954 Lister cars were always in the headlines and consistently beat the much larger works teams such as Aston Martin and Jaguar.

Laurence Pearce took over in 1995 and designed a new series of Lister Storm GT race cars and spent the next decade rebuilding the racing heritage. The 'glory days' were back with winning drivers such as Tiff Needell. Now, as a totally re-organised company under the ownership of the Warrantywise Group, they are once again building the several iconic Lister Continuation cars together with the altogether contemporary Lister LFT-666 and LFT-C, based on the Jaguar F-Type and the Stealth, based on the Jaguar F-Pace, from their factory in Cambridge .              

Over more than 60 years in the making, Lotus has become both a class-leading manufacturer of class-leading sports cars and a globally respected automotive engineering consultancy, working with many of the world's most prestigious car manufacturers.

From humble beginnings when Colin Chapman built his first trial car in a lock-up in 1948, motorsport was the driving force; indeed it was his desire to create competitive race cars that drove him to produce road cars in order to finance his racing ambitions! The motorsport influence has continued throughout the company's evolution. Geely, the Chinese automotive heavyweight, took a majority stake in Lotus in Spring 2017 and now owns the company.

The motorsport heritage remains at the heart of Lotus today and the strategic link to developing cars which offer superlative handling and performance for driving on the race track or on the road. Lotus Cars are designed, developed and built at their history-charged manufacturing facility in Hethel, Norfolk, where the company has been based since 1966.

Based in Upton-Upon-Severn, Worcestershire, it is run and staffed by a group of five enthusiasts, who have extensive experience in engineering, design, motorcycle scrambling and other related interests.

Maeving. a start-up business based in Coventry, was formed in 2017 by Seb Inglis-Jones and Will Stirrup with the intention of designing a retro-styled British-built electric bike. A major USP with this innovative two-wheeler was the use of swappable batteries to take the competition to the Chinese-built models.

This new company now employs a 16-strong team of mainly ex-Triumph engineers and the firm’s first model, the RM1, is now on the market. Currently it is only available to buy directly from Maeving via their website and delivered to your door, Maeving won’t have any dealer network as such. If it works for Tesla.......

They will, however, be opening pop-up shops from time to time and they have recently anoounced their latest one in London at 10 Gee's Court, W1U1JJ.

Although it's a proudly British firm, as is the way with much vehicle manufacturing these days the company has reached out to some big names for the main electric components. The hub-mounted electric motor has been built by Bosch, while the battery is supplied by Samsung, both companies having been heavily involved technically supporting Maeving from the outset,

Maeving have now added a new model, the RM1S, to their current line-up.
