XCS Designs is an artisan car-builder that specialises in creating thoroughly modern and ultra-high quality interpretations of classic two-seater roadsters.

Created with the blessing of John Tojeiro, designer of the original AC Ace, and ex-Ford chassis engineer Peter Walker, the 427 represents the culmination of generations of experience in bespoke sports car creation. And while phenomenal performance and svelte aesthetics are a given, the application of Walker’s innovative cross-coupled suspension design endows it with exceptional dynamic capabilities.

The 427 is a truly credible sports car for discerning enthusiasts. Most of its major components are handmade so that every aspect can be configured to suit the customer. Yet no matter the direction in which this takes the specification, the 427 always marries old-fashioned charm with the latest engineering technologies to deliver a standout machine.

Based in Essex, the company is led by talented master engineer Harvey Rice. He directs a dedicated and forward-thinking team of design, development and production engineers, who work together with highly skilled fabricators and classic car enthusiasts to deliver bespoke, handcrafted vehicles that set new industry standards of build quality and safety.

By design, the XCS operation is small yet perfectly formed: big enough to ensure the vast majority of fabrication is kept in-house for optimal quality control, yet small enough to manoeuvre quickly and provide the sort of attentive, personal service that discerning enthusiasts deserve.

But don’t just take our word for it. XCS invites potential customers to visit the premises where a warm welcome and a personalised factory tour awaits.
