The son of a wealthy Stockport motor dealer, Naylor financed the building of his own Cooper-based JBW car, which he raced in several grands prix, although the car was out of its depth at that level.

He finished 42nd in the 1961 Daytona 500 becoming the first European driver to compete in NASCAR.[2]
