For almost 50 years, this family-run workshop in Wardington, Oxfordshire has built a reputation most specialists spend lifetimes chasing \u2014 one earned on rally stages from the East African savanna to the Australian outback, not just in a showroom. Design911 is now the official retail partner for the Tuthill parts range, bringing that engineering pedigree to air-cooled 911 owners everywhere.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Fifty Years in the Making<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tuthill&#8217;s story starts in 1977, when Francis Tuthill entered his Volkswagen Beetle in the London to Sydney Rally. It wasn&#8217;t long before his attention turned to Porsche \u2014 first four-cylinder cars, then the 356 and 911 \u2014 and a specialist workshop was born on the edge of the Cotswolds, in the village of Wardington near Banbury.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What began as rally preparation has grown, over nearly five decades, into one of the most respected names in air-cooled Porsche restoration and motorsport anywhere in the world \u2014 without ever leaving Wardington. Today the company is run by Francis&#8217;s son, Richard, who was himself a promising rally driver before taking the helm, and who still test-drives every car personally before it&#8217;s handed back to its owner. A new generation is already coming through: Richard&#8217;s son Charlie made his ERC debut in 2026, continuing a family rallying line that now spans three generations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15464\" src=\"https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Richard-Tuthill-Life-and-Cars-800x451.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1669\" height=\"941\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Richard-Tuthill-Life-and-Cars-800x451.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Richard-Tuthill-Life-and-Cars-1024x577.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Richard-Tuthill-Life-and-Cars-768x433.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Richard-Tuthill-Life-and-Cars-600x338.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Richard-Tuthill-Life-and-Cars.webp 1260w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1669px) 100vw, 1669px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Built for the Desert, Proven on the Stage<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tuthill&#8217;s rallying credentials run deep. The workshop built bodyshells for Prodrive&#8217;s Rothmans-liveried Porsche 911 SC\/RS rally cars in the 1980s, and Francis Tuthill won the London\u2013Sydney Rally outright in a 911 in 1993. That competitive streak has never let up: Tuthill-prepared cars have won the FIA WRC R-GT Championship, taken a podium at the Peking to Paris Rally, and competed at the sharp end of the Porsche Sprint Challenge GB.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nowhere is Tuthill&#8217;s reputation stronger than in East Africa. The team is the most successful in the history of the East African Safari Classic Rally, with five outright wins, and the Safari-spec 911 \u2014 reinforced, roof-vented, riding high on long-travel suspension \u2014 is a Tuthill development now recognised the world over. It was a Tuthill-built 1978 911 SC that carried the late Ken Block through the 2022 Safari Classic, one of the most talked-about builds in the workshop&#8217;s history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s that reputation \u2014 proven on some of the toughest rally stages on earth \u2014 that sits behind every product in the range.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15465\" src=\"https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/DSC08606-e1786977624239-750x500.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1652\" height=\"1100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/DSC08606-e1786977624239-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/DSC08606-e1786977624239-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/DSC08606-e1786977624239-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/DSC08606-e1786977624239-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/DSC08606-e1786977624239-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/DSC08606-e1786977624239.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1652px) 100vw, 1652px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Nothing Leaves Wardington Half-Finished<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What sets Tuthill apart is how much happens under one roof. Engine and transmission builds, rust repair, metal fabrication, roll cage installation, full body and paint \u2014 it&#8217;s all done in-house, by the same team, to the same standard, whether the car is headed for a concours lawn or a rally stage. That philosophy extends well beyond restoration: Tuthill&#8217;s special projects list includes the Meyers Manx x Tuthill &#8216;LFG&#8217; buggy, the 2.0-litre Cup classic race car, and a Singer all-terrain study built directly with the Tuthill team \u2014 proof of an engineering range that goes far beyond a single model or era.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s this same in-house discipline \u2014 components engineered, tested and proven by the people who build and race these cars themselves \u2014 that shapes every product in the parts range now available through Design911.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15466\" src=\"https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/tech-working-on-k-750x500.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1666\" height=\"1109\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/tech-working-on-k-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/tech-working-on-k-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/tech-working-on-k-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/tech-working-on-k-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/tech-working-on-k-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1666px) 100vw, 1666px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>From Rally Stage to Your Garage<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The range spans everything from cockpit and interior upgrades \u2014 lightweight carbon fibre steering wheels, the Tombstone carbon fibre seat, a lightweight dash vent kit \u2014 to exterior pieces like carbon fibre mirrors, motorsport-proven wheel sets, and the titanium and carbon ceramic hardware that underpins serious chassis and braking upgrades. Every piece reflects the same standard Tuthill applies to its own competition builds: lightweight where it matters, over-engineered where it counts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nothing in the range is a generic aftermarket part rebadged for the occasion. Each component started life solving a real problem on a real car \u2014 shedding weight for a rally stage, surviving a Safari crossing, or shaving tenths on a race track \u2014 long before it was ever offered for sale.
