Ken Miles’s son, Peter Miles, remained connected to the automotive world after his father’s death in 1966. He worked in off-road racing and with car collections, and later helped *Ford v Ferrari* portray his family more faithfully by sharing personal material about Ken and Mollie. The available reporting documents those chapters, but does not establish Peter’s exact job or residence as of October 2026.

Who is Ken Miles’s son?

Ken and Mollie Miles’s son is Peter Miles. As a child, Peter sometimes joined his father at testing sessions. Ken was often away working after joining Shelby, Peter recalled in a 2019 interview with 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Peter also went to Le Mans with his father in 1965, the last time he said he visited the race. Ken was forced to retire with mechanical problems. “It was an extraordinary experience,” Peter said, adding that he had not returned by the time of the interview.

What did Peter Miles do after his father died?

Peter stayed in the automotive world, though available accounts describe a career around racing and cars rather than a high-profile professional driving career like his father’s.

Off-road racing and car collections

Motor Sport Magazine described Peter as a later off-road racer and the person in charge of Chip Connor’s car collection. A September 2025 Jalopnik profile reports that Peter worked as crew chief for off-road racer Ivan “Ironman” Stewart, helped oversee ten commemorative Cobra replicas, and later served as executive administrator for a private car collection.

Did he become a racing driver?

Peter’s work connected him closely to racing, particularly off-road racing, but the reporting does not describe him as following Ken into a prominent racing-driver career. A later drive is not evidence of a return to competition: Jalopnik reported that Ford arranged for Peter to drive a 2021 Ford GT Heritage Edition at Daytona alongside professional driver Joey Hand.

How did Peter help *Ford v Ferrari*?

Peter shared family history and archival material with the people making the film. In his 2019 24 Hours of Le Mans interview, he said he attended a private screening with Christian Bale, who played Ken. “I gave Christian Bale info about my dad from press clippings and magazine articles, and I showed him personal photos and shared audio recordings with him.”

Peter also met Caitríona Balfe, who played Mollie, and described his mother to her. His contribution offered the actors personal context; it does not make the film a record of Peter’s later life. The young Peter character belongs to the film’s dramatization, while accounts of Peter’s subsequent work come from interviews and profiles.
