The company was founded in 1984 by Rona and Arthur Wolstenholme, based in Peterborough. The W152 was the first car to be designed and produced by Ronart Cars and was launched in 1986 in a retro racing car style, The external exhaust system and "hump style" headrest are key design features of a car from that era. The original chassis was designed by Spyder Engineering, and uses a beck bone chassis. So, the chassis narrows in the centre, at the transmission tunnel and spreads out to all 4 corners. The MK 2 cars, produced since 1996 featured the chassis redesigned and built in-house. The W152 body has 11 panels with the centre section featuring a reinforced steel cage and welded roll over bar for safety and rigidity. The W152's mechanicals are from a Jaguar XJ from 1968-1986. There are three different engine options in a W152, the Jaguar XK6, AJ6 or V12. Any appropriate gearbox can be used but normally a manual. The W152, does not have any doors and in most cases no windscreen instead it uses two small Brooklands aero screens In 2004, Wolstenholme, licensed the Vanwall brand and over the following ten years created and manufactured three new Vanwall car designs, the Grand Prix Racer, the Vanwall 2S and the replica Vanwall 58. In 2006 Iain Sanderson joined Arthur Wolstenholme with Vanwall in the production of Vanwall cars and the W152. During which time they also started the Lightning Car Company specifically to create and develop a new car called the Lightning GT. This was an ultra modern technology, electric sports car with a design style based upon the original Lightning V8. The Lightning GT was launched at the 2008 International London Motor Show. The W152 was manufactured under licence by Vanwall for ten years. Since then manufacturing has continued by Ronart.
