Gordon Murray, the man behind the McLaren F1, has an amazing garage


Gordon Murray, the man behind the McLaren F1, has an amazing garage

Few people in the auto industry have longer and better résumés than Gordon Murray. What we didn’t include in our introduction there is that he also helped McLaren F1 win three consecutive world championships as technical director.

In addition, Gordon Murray had a big say in the development of the – wait for it – Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. Then he designed the new TVR Griffith and, of course, created the T.50 supercar.

Returning to the look of his garage again, let’s assume it contains a wide variety of cars of all shapes, sizes, and colors. One of the most bizarre of them all is the 1972 Minibug T2 with a “well-tuned” Cooper S engine.

Another nice addition was a 1966 Ford Cortina that he found “in Bristol and that is completely rust-free”.

Then there’s a Ferrari 308 GT4, a 1959 Austin-Healey Sprite, a 1967 IGM T1, and a 1966 De Tomaso Vallelunga. Oh, and not to mention a trio of Lotus cars – Elan S3, Elan S4, and the Elite.
