Purveyors of Fine Motoring & Good Company. Since 2019, Takona has stood for two things: a love of cars, whatever you drive, and the people you meet because of them. Plenty of lasting friendships start with a conversation over a bonnet at a car meet. Keeping those conversations going, including the harder ones about mental health, is why Takona exists.
The No. 12 on the back is shared by two cars that wear the Takona logo. The first is BUY 1, Grant Williams' Jaguar Mk1, which runs as number 12. It raced in the 1959 British Saloon Car Championship as a Roy Salvadori and John Coombs entry, was bought by Grant's grandfather Gordon in 1962, and has since carried Grant to more than ten Goodwood Revival podiums, including St Mary's Trophy wins with Derek Bell.
The second is the BMW E36 that friends of Takona race under the Takona Racing Division name at Race of Remembrance, the 12-hour endurance race at Anglesey. The team is made up of former military personnel, automotive business owners and race mechanics, and the car runs a Rothmans-style livery with ITS OK TO TLK across the wings. Its 2025 race summed up what the No. 12 stands for. Five weeks out, the original car was written off in testing and a replacement was built against the clock. In the night session, contact at Rocket cracked a cast steel trailing arm that couldn't be welded. The only spare was five hours away, so it was relayed across the country and arrived at 3am. The team were back in the paddock at 5am fitting it, and the car rejoined on Sunday morning and fought on to the flag, finishing ahead of the MX-5 that had hit it. Pushing on, staying present and turning up for the people around you: that's the No. 12.
The zip down sweatshirt sits between the hoodie and the jackets in the Classic Racing Division range. It's 280gsm brushed organic cotton with recycled polyester in a regular sweatshirt fit, warm enough on its own for a cold morning in the paddock and easy to layer over a tee or under the canvas jacket. The mock-neck collar keeps the wind off when it's zipped up, and the metal zip opens it up once the sun comes out. It has embroidery on the left chest and the full No. 12 Racing Division print across the back.
