Ant Anstead’s Radford Motors Files for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Amid Fraud Allegations and Missing Supercars


In a shocking turn of events, luxury car manufacturer Radford Motors, led by Ant Anstead, has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. This marks a significant shift from its previously filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in October 2024. The latest filing, which occurred on May 8, 2025, signals the company’s move toward liquidation, as it faces a mounting pile of legal and financial troubles. In the heart of these struggles are allegations of fraud, missing supercars, and an increasing number of unresolved customer complaints.

The Legal Woes: Customers and Lawsuits Galore

Radford Motors is currently embroiled in multiple lawsuits from disgruntled clients who have been left without their high-end, custom-designed vehicles—despite making substantial deposits. Some customers have claimed to pay deposits ranging from $100,000 to a staggering $750,000 for bespoke vehicles, only to be met with silence and unfulfilled promises.

One of the most notable cases involves Timothy Tasker, who alleges he paid $101,000 in May 2022 for a limited-edition Lotus-Radford Type 62-2, a custom vehicle that he has yet to receive. As of now, Tasker has neither his car nor a refund, despite his repeated attempts to reach Radford Motors.

A joint lawsuit filed by Lamborghini Palm Beach and Dr. Scott Katzman paints a similar picture. Both entities claim they handed over a combined deposit of $1,050,000 for custom Radford-Lotus vehicles, but no cars were delivered. The legal battles against Radford Motors continue to escalate, drawing significant attention to the company's inability to fulfill its promises.

Even more troubling, former attorney Roger N. Behle Jr. has alleged that the company misused a $100,000 client deposit intended for vehicle production. Instead of being used for its intended purpose, Behle claims the funds were diverted to cover unrelated personal expenses, including payments to Radford Motors co-founder Daniel Bednarski.

Radford Motors' Response: Bankruptcy and the Future

In response to these serious allegations, Radford Motors has vowed to address all claims as part of its ongoing bankruptcy proceedings. However, the company has yet to release any official statement about its potential closure, leaving customers, investors, and car enthusiasts wondering about the future of the once-promising luxury car brand.

While the company’s operations remain uncertain, one thing is clear: Ant Anstead, the celebrity car enthusiast and TV personality, is still committed to the vision behind Radford Motors. In public statements, Anstead has expressed his dedication to resolving the legal and financial issues surrounding the company, promising to continue working on the long-term goals of Radford Motors, despite the current turmoil.

The Bigger Picture: A Tarnished Reputation

This bankruptcy filing and the fraud allegations come as a significant blow to Anstead's reputation. The celebrity mechanic and TV personality, who garnered widespread fame with his work on automotive shows like Wheelers Dealers, had big dreams for Radford Motors. He envisioned a high-end brand that could blend cutting-edge technology with bespoke design to create truly one-of-a-kind luxury cars.

However, the company's inability to deliver on those promises and its involvement in a growing number of legal battles threatens to derail Anstead’s ambitions. The trust of Radford Motors' clientele has been severely compromised, and the company’s future remains in jeopardy.

A Bleak Outlook and What’s Next for Radford Motors

As Radford Motors navigates the murky waters of bankruptcy proceedings and legal disputes, the company faces an uphill battle to recover its reputation. The allegations of fraud and mismanagement, compounded by the missing supercars, have left the brand’s future in doubt. Customers who once believed in the company’s promise are now questioning whether they’ll ever see their cars—or their money—again.

For now, all eyes remain on the bankruptcy court as Radford Motors attempts to manage the fallout from its troubled past. As the situation unfolds, more details will emerge about the company’s financial health and its ability to fulfill outstanding orders. In the meantime, Ant Anstead’s commitment to his vision will be put to the test as he works to salvage what’s left of Radford Motors.
