The Harper story starts on the racetrack in the hands of Craig Harper, described as a champion driver, engineer, and designer. According to the brand, at just 7 years old in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, Craig Harper discovered the thrill of vehicle control; by 19 he had designed and built his first race car, the Harper Type 1, testing, racing, and proving it on the track. That early determination carried him from local Club Champion to National Rally Champion and ultimately to becoming a car designer and engineer. In Botswana in 2004, Craig pursued the idea of creating a road-legal race car that behaves with composure at legal street speeds yet comes alive at the limit on the track, resulting in a lineage of South African designed performance cars. The brand states that its cars are crafted in South Africa and built for the world, and that Harper Sports Cars has grown into a boutique performance brand offering precision engineering, custom builds, special vehicle development, and restoration.
