Questions,
answered plainly.

Reservations, deposits, deliveries and ownership. If something is not here, write to us and a person answers.

The car

What makes Longbow different?

Our platform is engineered specifically for featherweight sports cars, rather than adapted from a conventional electric architecture built for a different kind of vehicle.

What does it cost?

Speedster starts from £84,995. Roadster starts from £64,995. Final pricing depends on your configuration.

How limited is production?

Speedster is limited to 150 cars. Roadster Autograph is limited to 100 cars, with series production to follow.

Can I customise my car?

Yes. You can configure your vehicle, or create something entirely bespoke through the Longbow Bowyer programme.

Will the Roadster have a removable roof?

Specific configuration details will be released ahead of delivery. Performance and purity come first in every decision we make, and we believe the most exciting form of driving involves wind in your hair.

What about practicality?

We're balancing purity with everyday usability. Roadster is a car to be enjoyed every day on the commute as well as the weekend.

How far can I drive and how fast can it charge?

The featherweight design delivers exceptional efficiency, and an advanced 800V system enables rapid charging.

Will the car hold its value?

Longbow builds low volume cars, engineered for longevity and designed to remain desirable for decades.

Where are the cars built?

All Longbow vehicles are engineered and assembled in the UK.

Reserving & configuring

Why reserve now?

A reservation secures your place in a limited production run.

Is my reservation refundable?

Yes. You can request a refund at any time, subject to our terms. Cancel within 14 days of paying and you get the whole amount back; after that we return it less our actual payment processing costs. Refunds are typically processed within a few days.

What happens after I reserve?

You'll receive your reservation confirmation along with a personal welcome letter from one of our founders. You will then be contacted ahead of delivery to design and configure your vehicle with any customisation options.

How is my place in the queue determined?

Your position is based on your reservation date and, when the time comes, how quickly you respond once you're invited to configure your car. We'll be in touch directly when it's your turn.

How much is the deposit?

Deposit amounts have varied by model and edition. Please see the Speedster or Roadster reservation page for further details.

Do you offer business leasing or finance?

We will look to work with a range of finance partners to provide Business Contract Hire and personal finance solutions. Your reservation may be transferred to a finance provider.

Delivery & availability

Where can I take delivery?

We are launching in the UK and Europe, with the intention to make cars globally available.

When will my car arrive?

Speedster production is planned for late 2026. Roadster is planned to follow in 2027.

Will I be told my exact delivery date in advance?

We'd rather build trust than over-promise, so we don't share individual delivery dates ahead of time. We'll keep every reservation holder in the loop as we move through production, and Guild members hear updates first.

What markets will the car be approved for?

Our vehicles are engineered to meet the regulatory requirements of our delivery markets, with global availability in mind.

Can I own one outside a launch market?

Both left and right hand drive models will be available, and we're working to make cars available as widely and as quickly as possible.

The Guild & staying connected

What is The Guild?

The Guild is our owner community. Membership gives you access to the programme, the people behind it, and experiences not available anywhere else.

How do I stay updated?

Reservation holders join The Guild, our owner community, and hear from us directly as the programme progresses.

Will I be able to see the car before delivery?

Yes. We host events and previews for reservation holders throughout development.

Managing your reservation & support

How will servicing work?

We combine accredited partners, specialist workshops, and direct factory support.

How do I request a refund or cancel my reservation?

Email enquiries@longbowmotors.com and let us know. We're sorry to see anyone leave the Guild, but we'll confirm and process your refund straight away, typically within a few days. Within 14 days of paying you get the whole amount back; after that we return it less our actual payment processing costs.

I have not heard back, or cannot find my reservation details. Who do I contact?

Email enquiries@longbowmotors.com with your name and the approximate date you reserved, and a member of the team will confirm your reservation details and next steps directly.
