About Steve Griffiths
Motorsport has been my life since 1981. I started in Moto-X and moved into rallying in the late 1980s.
I’ve marshalled, navigated, driven, worked as a mechanic and led teams. Most people in motorsport know me as “Sport”.
I have WRC wins as a mechanic and as a team principal. As a driver I’ve competed in the WRC, the British Rally Championship and the Peugeot Masters series, finishing 2nd in Belgium.
Group B and Group 4 cars are the ones I love most. I once owned my dream car, a Metro 6R4. I sold it, then built my own recreation, and now I build them for customers.
I’ve also built recreations of the Ford RS200 and the Audi S1 E2.
Now I build the Lancia Stratos Group 4. It won three World Championships in the 1970s. Every chassis and body panel is made in-house in Stourbridge.
After more than four decades in motorsport, I still enjoy seeing one come to life, and keeping a piece of rallying history going.
The John Cross car
We have recently acquired the Lancia Stratos rallycross car from John Cross. It raced for five seasons and took more than 50 podiums and won the championship.
We used John Cross’s rallycross car as an excellent base for a newly developed recreation, having new body moulds made, windscreen and wheel moulds too.
