RACING GREEN ENGINEERING LIMITED

What RACING GREEN ENGINEERING LIMITED does

Racing Green Engineering Limited is a family-owned bespoke vintage car manufacturer and restoration specialist founded in 1980 by Peris Edwards in Llanelli, South Wales (United Kingdom). The company operates from a single workshop employing 37 dedicated craftsmen, who hand-build aluminium-bodied recreations of iconic 1930s-era vehicles on refurbished original marque chassis - primarily seven distinct Bentley Specials (Blue Train, Speed 8, No.1, 3/8 Racer, Alpine, Drophead Coupé, Fastback) plus Alfa Romeo 2600MM and Alvis 3 Litre Special recreations. Technology centres on traditional craftsmanship: ash timber or tubular steel framing, hand-shaped aluminium panels, original Bentley/Alfa Romeo engines and drive trains, combined with modern upgrades to electrics, brakes, and fuel systems to deliver reliability for road and rally use. Nearly all work is completed in-house across machine rooms, fabrication, trim, and painting facilities.

The company sells directly to high-net-worth vintage car collectors worldwide, supplemented by appointed distributors (Odessa Motor Co for the UK, Altena Classic & Rally Service for the Netherlands/Benelux) and official service centres (FAHRZEIT in Austria, Altena service operations) for after-sales support across Europe. Vehicles are documented in private collections across Europe, North America, the UAE, and the Far East. Pricing is bespoke and not publicly disclosed, with each unit built to individual customer specification on a contract basis. The revenue model combines one-time bespoke vehicle sales with professional restoration services for marques including Rolls Royce, Jaguar, Aston Martin, pre-1974 Porsche 911, and Ferrari 250 GTO recreations, plus ongoing maintenance. The company is privately held, family-run (Peris Edwards and son-in-law Nigel Holmes), and operates without external funding or institutional investors.
