THE ARRIVAL OF THE GMA T.33 SPIDER SHOULD COME AS NO surprise. Gordon Murray and his team have been nothing but open when it comes to his company’s product strategy. ‘We always said there’d be three T.33 models: the coupe, an open car and a performance model,’ says Murray. ‘The Spider is the second of the trio.’ It is also, to these eyes at least, the prettiest of the GMA cars to date.
Since the 2019 reveal of the headline-grabbing three-seater fan-assisted T.50 halo model, Murray, CEO Phil Lee and the team they have assembled around them – ‘Some think we’re a start-up, but we have a number of people who have been working with me for more than 20 years,’ says Murray – have not only neared completion of that car’s development, with the last pre-production prototypes exiting the production hall as the first customer car entered it last month, but have continued development of the two-seater T.33 models, too.
