THROUGH a gap in the trees, at the bottom of some landscaped gardens coated in autumnal fallen leaves, the proof of an emerging new British car company and engineering force suddenly becomes visible. There, in the distance, lies the bare shell of a factory that will make Gordon Murray Automotive’s exclusive supercars from the start of 2024.
The building – all 4,000 square metres of it – is a couple of weeks off being made watertight, and the site near Windlesham in Surrey is a hive of activity as builders race to beat the winter rain. Health and safety signs abound, attached to high fences sealing off the facility – but today Auto Express is being granted an exclusive tour.
Our guide is not Gordon Murray himself but Phillip Lee, the man entrusted with the day-to-day
