Tolman was founded by Christopher Tolman in 2007, following his twelve years spent in professional motorsport. Based in Warwickshire in the heart of the British motorsport industry, Tolman has expanded organically since its conception, twice outgrowing its premises.
There are now ten full-time employees housed in a modern 4000 sq ft workshop. With a team of ex-factory motorsport and automotive technicians, Tolman utilises knowledge gained from winning multiple world championship titles to benefit its clients.
The company, made up of three divisions, Engineering, Restoration & Historic and Motorsport, recently completed and delivered the first example of their Tolman Edition, a 205 GTI. This is basically a 'new' version of the iconic 80s hot hatch.
Drawing on Tolman’s huge experience of restoring and improving historic and modern classics using parts it has engineered and manufactured in-house, the Tolman Edition follows the firm’s ethos for non-invasive enhancements (everything can be returned to standard) to create a 205 GTI that evokes the emotions of driving a well sorted example in period.
