Our story
Born from the strip
Elliott Racing started the way most racing teams do — with a passion for fast cars and a refusal to let someone else do the work. Based in Ilkeston, Derbyshire, we've been building, racing, and wrenching on classic American muscle for years.
What began as a personal racing project grew into a workshop that other racers and classic car owners started turning to. Word spreads when the work is done properly, and we've built a reputation for doing exactly that.
We're not a franchise, not a chain, and not a general garage that dabbles in performance work. We're specialists — and that focus is what makes the difference.
Racers first
We race ourselves. That means we understand what you need from your car — not just in theory, but from standing at the start line.
Honest work
We tell you what your car needs and what it doesn't. No upselling, no unnecessary work — just straight advice and quality results.
Classic specialists
Classic American iron is our heartland. We know these cars inside out — their strengths, their quirks, and how to get the best from them.
Built to last
Whether it's a race build or a restoration, we build things to last. The strip is unforgiving — so is the road. We build for both.
Our heritage
Classic American iron
Our roots are in the cars that defined drag racing — Chevrolets, Fords, Dodges, Pontiacs, Plymouths. The muscle car era produced some of the most exciting performance cars ever built, and we've dedicated ourselves to keeping that heritage alive.
We work on these cars because we love them. Every build is a chance to do justice to a piece of automotive history — whether that means building it for the strip, restoring it to factory spec, or finding the right balance between the two.
