Video: the Radford Type 62-2, Jenson Button’s 600bhp retro supercar

This is quite a thing, isn’t it? It’s the Radford Type 62-2, the comeback of Radford finally made real. In short, you’re looking at a modern day reimagining of the Lotus Type 62, with Lotus itself on board to provide the oily bits.

Talking you around this coachbuilt wonder are the two guys behind it: TV’s Ant Anstead and Formula One world champion, Jenson Button.
