Factory Five Racing

06/02/2026

It's officially car show season everywhere, and 12 Factory Fives in SoCal met up at the Cars and Coffee event this past Saturday in San Clemente. Among them were customers Hal C., Tim W., David H., Bud C,, John S., Kevin H., Bart H., Tony V., and Dennis A.

The San Clemente Cars and Coffee is a weekly event and is the largest in Orange County so we're stoked to hear that Factory Five was well represented with these customer builds.

Customers Ron and Rochelle V. brought their Factory Five Type 65 Coupe, F5R226DC, to the 6th annual Speed & Style Show in Old Town Alexandria, VA the other weekend, and the car was a big hit with show attendees! "Thanks for making a GREAT product and to those who helped me assemble and paint the car!!!!" wrote Ron. "It has been near 6 years since the parts arrived, and I have well over 7,000 miles on this beautiful machine. A crowd favorite among supercars that are easily 10x the cost."
