Willmott's passion for historic motorsport ignited when a friend offered him a drive in an Aston Martin DB4. This experience led him to pursue historic racing more seriously.

Willmott aimed to make the car more suited to Goodwood by modifying its setup and aesthetics. He has also raced a BMW M3 E36 in the Spa 24 Hours and a Porsche 996 GT3-R in the Le Mans 24 Hours. In the FIA GT3 European Championship in 2007, he drove an Ascari KZ1R GT3 for Damax.
