Radford Returns

Master builder Ant Anstead, F1 champion Jenson Button and sportscar designer Mark Stubbs unite to revive the British coach-building company Radford. They are tasked with designing, building and test driving the last gas-powered supercar for Lotus.

Jenson and Ant head to the Radford track to see how the extended chassis performs. Jenson's feedback from this test drive will help inform every aspect of the build.

Out on the track, Jenson continues to shake down the Radford prototype. He has some ideas about widening the front track to improve the car's stability, but every change comes with a cost.

F1 world champion Jenson Button spends some one-on-one time with Clive Chapman, son of Lotus founder Colin Chapman, at the Classic Team Lotus facility.

F1 world champion Jenson Button gets behind the wheel of three different road-going Lotuses to decide which will be the best candidate to use as a platform for Radford's latest build.

Radford designer Mark Stubbs meets Martin Wade, the designer of the original Type 62 Lotus, which has been the inspiration behind their latest build. They talk about the original before discussing Mark's new design.

A deep dive reveals the clay process Radford employed to help realize Mark Stubbs' design.

F1 world champion Jenson Button gives us an intimate look into his life up to the point he joined the Radford team.

One of Radford's founding partners, lawyer Roger Behle, was actually a pop star back in the '80s. We drop into the recording studio as he and some old bandmates lay music down to be used in the Radford documentary.

When the deadline for delivery is breathing down your neck, who do you call to help apply the finishing touches? Chip Foose of course! Chip works through the night to make sure the Radford Lotus is ready to be revealed to the press and public alike.

The Radford Lotus cars have now been launched, and with feedback from both press and the public, the Radford team assesses the year and talks about what's next.
