Every Longbow is assembled by hand in the United Kingdom - in the country that taught the world to build cars. Weeks on the bench, not minutes on a line. Numbered, documented, and signed by the people who built it.
A Longbow doesn't move down a line - the people move around the car. The bonded aluminium structure is jigged, bonded and cured on a single bench, then carries its body, drive unit and interior in the same spot where it began.
Every fastener is torque-recorded against the chassis number. When the car is finished, the team that built it signs the build book - and the build book travels with the car for life.
The Featherweight Electric Platform is built in the same building it was engineered in. The pack sits low on the centre axis; the drive unit hangs behind the driver; nothing is carried that the road won't reward.
Short feedback loops are the quiet advantage of a studio: an engineer who finds a gram to save walks it to the bench the same afternoon. The seven decisions, in detail →
Every finished car is driven on the same loop of Warwickshire B-roads - cambered, crested, imperfect. Real roads, because that's where the car will live. The sign-off sheet records what the driver felt, not just what the rig measured.
Only then does the numbered plaque go on, and the car is released to its owner.
150 Speedsters. 100 Roadster Autographs. Each carries its number on a plaque cut in the workshop, and each number exists exactly once. We will never quietly extend a run - scarcity you can't trust isn't scarcity.
A car that can't be repaired is a car with an expiry date. Every Longbow is documented down to the fastener: drawings, torque records, material specifications, kept for the life of the car and shared with its owners under our right-to-repair commitment.
Bonded sections are designed to be cut out and replaced. The pack is serviceable at module level. When a part can be remade in fifty years' time, we say so in the build book - and where it can't, we keep stock.
Centurion Engineering & Repair, our restoration partner programme, will exist for one reason: so that Speedster N°150 is still being driven, not displayed, in 2126.
The workshop is open to reservation holders by appointment. You'll meet the team building your car, see your chassis on its bench, and - if your timing is good - watch your number being cut.
No showroom. No coffee theatre. Just the building where the work happens.
