Gordon Murray walks us through his favourite cars

[@GoodwoodRR]

You can only take three home, which are they?

[@simonhodgetts6530]

Miura, that lovely Osca Zagato, and of course the T33!

[@willnzsurf]

T1, Miura, T50s Niki Lauda😎

[@lordmaster5522]

Hmmm…nice collection but all European and under represented from US and Japan. Surprised that he doesn’t have any Camero, Mustang, and Tesla or into any JDM such as Supra and GTR.

[@rong.7768]

Miura only 🙂

[@morris2450]

Certainly the Muira is at the top

[@aarongrattafiori617]

"Every summer I select half a dozen to bring home and use"... Haha. Amazing. World needs more Murrays.

[@hagestad]

He just need to stop saying he did first carbon monocoque. Amish people from Hercules made it for them in Utah. McLaren did not even have and autoclave those days.

[@d-d-i]

Gordon has excellent taste in cars, and gotta give props for getting these examples of rare manufacturers that no one has even heard of.

[@pashakdescilly7517]

No-one?

[@russcooke5671]

Well Gordon has obviously heard of them. 👌👌

[@rockzs74r]

The only unknown manufacturer there is the osca but it was designed by Zagato so not really unknown. The rest of them is Abarth, Lotus, Lamborghini, and Porsche

[@pashakdescilly7517]

@@rockzs74r OSCA was founded by the Maserati brothers after they had sold that company and were free of management contract.

[@rockzs74r]

@@pashakdescilly7517 so that's mean all of them is well known brand

[@chadmueller9135]

He is the Da Vinci of the carworld. All his recent creations are masterpieces too

[@MrSatnavatron]

The Lamborghini Miura is my favourite car of all time. Gordon has fantastic taste

[@danielvandersall6756]

Beautiful machine, and really the first of the supercars, but had a very major flaw. Because of the mid engine, the gas tank is in the worst place possible; the front of the car. Which means as the tank gets lower, the nose gets lighter. Dangerously lighter. Makes driving it...interesting. Pucker factor interesting. But that's part of the character of the classic Italian supercars from the 60-80s. Until Audi made them...choke...reliable. HERESY.

[@Miha23_]

That 550 and Lotus Elite are just breathtaking...

[@TechTrader108]

The man who created the F1 really has unique reason to love every car of his.....its not just abt the styling but in terms of the aerodynamics and the history associated with it.......single minded focus on drivability............& hes got 2 lovely Porsches....wow

[@Bob-ll4xu]

I would throw in the Lotus Elise Mk1, the old and new Alpine A110, the Marciano 268A, the Ginetta G12, the Lotus 15, the Alfa Romeo TZ1, the Alfa Romeo TZ2, the Lola MK 6, the Ferrari 206 SP, the . . . 🤤

[@henrikbunkenborg6743]

You are 110 % right regarding the small blue French rockets

[@arnd9081]

The Panhard CD

[@jochenwerner3213]

Lotus Elite Mk14 is missing in your nice collection 😊

[@gweflj]

I love the Elise but it’s a beach buggy compared to these. Also, the Alpine is funky but again, not pretty and perfectly cohesive like these cars. 246 Dino? Citroen SM? The latter a bit big and elegant rather than pretty and tiptoeing on its wheels.

[@flacjacket]

I had never heard of the 268a before, that is stunning.

[@ideasforu358]

Always a pleasure to listen to Sir Gordon. A true icon

[@maddee2548]

Holy cow! The T.33's resemblance to the Vallelunga is so uncanny!

[@nicksanders1119]

There is definitely a significant Colin Chapman influence around Gordon Murray's design ethos, amongst other muses. Light weight, aero dynamics and one solution to more than one problem. Not the prettiest result, at the end of the day, in my opinion. But, a thoughtful, innovative, detailed contribution to the automotive experience, nonetheless! I'm sure the GMA product would be a hoot to drive!

[@hagestad]

Chapman might have been a criminal but his company created so many awesome cars.

[@ronniemacdonald2768]

He makes no secret of the fact that Chapman was his hero - he came to the UK looking for a job at Lotus but it wasn't to be so he ended up at Brabham.

[@sonicstep]

Interesting. Very interesting indeed. Gordon has some of my classic favourites there too. Plus others I was unaware of.

[@Th3wobbler]

love how he just casually mentioned he didn't have money so he designed his own car and engine. seriously impressive for an 18 year old 🤯

[@GordonMurrayAutomotive]

Members' Meeting is always special! 🤩

[@tonywadkins5258]

I would have liked to have seen his Retropower Escort there. What a car that is!

[@morris2450]

Muira is not just a car it's a piece of art.

[@alexprost7505]

🤐

[@Gynra]

So was Tracey Emin's unmade bed (apparently). Not that I'm making any point at all... I think the Muira is lovely (though not as lovely as a McLaren F1 IMO).

[@jpkatz1435]

G. M. It doesn't get any better than this! Thankyou Goodwood.

[@jondonnelly3]

I love the Porche 904

[@jameshutchins3396]

Cars designed by artists have much warmer design than computers

[@simonhodgetts6530]

Absolutely! A lot of modern car designs have all the elegance and character of an air conditioning unit!

[@jonathanevans9257]

About his classic car collection..''every Summer I bring home half a dozen or so to use' . Lucky man and what a collection he must have!

[@jmsjms296]

Man of taste.

[@alexandervanwyk7669]

Gordon thinks like myself, (and Ferdinand and Ettoire and Colin). To get the maximum out of the minimum. I'm a 56 model and share exactly G's history of passion and racing. (PS. Gordon you missed the E-type and Dino). Love from Pretoria South Africa.

[@willyhwang1059]

clean graceful lines that make a statement without any styling excess or frivolity

[@autoevolutionofficial]

Who else remembers playing Need for Speed: Porsche and trying to win the Classic Era Bonus Race to unlock the 550 Spyder?

[@BGSGBF]

This gentleman just did more, for popularization of English language, than Shakespeare, Dickens and Keats. All together.

[@cp4512]

The Lotus Elite looks stunning. Shame they’re getting so expensive now!

[@cogboy302]

I've always had a soft spot for the Chevron B8. Pretty little car.

[@kamuelalee]

Like G, every summer I pick a few of my classics to ride that season: Huffy, Huffy and another Huffy.

[@stephenwilliams926]

How about the Mondeo mk4 ?.

[@higurro]

When Gordon talks about Zagato, I can't help seeing a resemblance between the T.33 and the 1990s Zagato Raptor concept

[@stefdem1533]

He definitely knows what a car is.

[@VictoriaAlfredSmythe]

Thank you from Manhattan ©2024

[@robbrady4649]

From the thumbnail teaser I managed to guess correctly which car he was referring to before watching the video. Will award myself a Gordon point for that.

[@claylittlewood540]

I have to say that l agree with everything he said ..!

[@davidrinaldis2351]

It would hysterical if they stuck a Pontiac Aztek in that line-up.

[@R_ovrlnd]

Can`t believe they skipped the GSM Dart

[@johntechwriter]

Wonder why Gordon didn’t include the E-Type.

[@paulelverstone8677]

Shame we couldn't get some better angles of each of the cars; what with him talking so much about proportion 'n' all. Beautiful cars though, each and every one...

[@douglasburnside]

Yeah, I know it's pretty plebeian... but the E-type Jaguar will forever hold my heart.

[@jean-charlesplante7027]

When taste and money are in symbiosis.Nick Mason comes to mind too.

[@daveblock4061]

Such Colin Chapman influence...and we know he also loves his Elan.

[@bobwerner6967]

But where is the Lotus Elan? The greatest handling car in the world...according to Mr Murray. (And who am I to question?)

[@richbrid4527]

De Tomaso Vallelunga. Not Vellelunga.

[@dn2d]

Living legend

[@Jengalese]

Interesting that there's no Alfa 33 Stradale

[@paulbugoni2846]

Agree. Gorgeous

[@bogdanbalc6120]

Hey Goodwood it's called DeTomaso Vallelunga not Vellelunga 😂

[@ImagoodJoe]

Top 3 cars of all time - Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato, Ferrari 250 SWB, and your first car.

[@whoeveriam0iam14222]

this man spent millions for the same car because he liked it so much

[@Ben-Rogue]

I knew there was some Vallelunga DNA in the T33.

[@puertousbmonkey]

the Miura designer said it should have been wider

[@Andrew-zx9wx]

The background music made me stop before the video ended. 😢

[@PixelPusher1]

904 💓

[@mrbagitos]

Every day is an education.

[@jbm0866]

When all of Gordon's generation are gone I wonder if GeX, Millenials or Zoomers will have the same sort of reverance for preserving automotive racing history from the 50's-60's? I guess we'll find out in the next 20 years or so.

[@ziggyjinx]

When he said he didn’t have any money, how could he go racing and build a race car ? Or he mean little but more than most ?

[@stanleybuchan4610]

Probably down to his last 5 million!

[@perryprice9993]

Wow.

[@a-trainmcl4796]

the old ones doesnt count, because there was no safety considerations (designers could design anything they wanted). All said and done, Koenigsegg Gemera, 911 Targa (992), Viper, Ferrari 430 Scuderia, Carrera GT and Ford GT should be the top 6

[@Tracertme]

Simple clean lines which are proportional and you can take a racing line on your side of the road, which rules out every modern sports car they have become to big to wide and so over weight and compensated with larger big performance engines. It’s just an engineering down hill spiral after that..

[@Pboy7272]

My vote goes to the Ferrari 599 GTO.

[@villeamiettinen]

it sounds better than uk eurovision sonds ;)

[@villeamiettinen]

abarth

[@ascended1924]

Not mentioned a single Ferrari, damn.

[@emiliobaldassari5626]

❤👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@maximme]

why not do a REMAKE of these cars...that would have the modern features but the similar classic styling

[@soncinr]

It is VALLELUNGA NOT VELLELUNGA please.

[@badscrutinizer7336]

It would be appropriate with a picture of the WHOLE car when he talks about it instead of only close-ups of details. This is what you often do and then like now I stop watching👎

[@原田憲-y6q]

Great cars. Horrible camera work

[@jameslovering9158]

no 911 ?

[@robertsaca3512]

F40 was rhe first xarbon monocoque.

[@peterebanks3]

Mmm,have we met.mmm....

[@arcadyskoit]

It’s a shame he can’t build a sports car we can all afford

[@eamonnmckeown6770]

He was involved with Midas Cars for a while. Ugly things.

[@Diecastclassicist]

Great cars, horrible music.

[@fusune7465]

he talks a lot about proportions

[@hayabusaorlovina2761]

So those are his favorite cars!?... He is a old mustache farth...

[@johnwilder8517]

I know rules are rules but does he really have to wear ID? jw

[@Theducksavilerowshow]

😂

[@peetsnort]

What in gods name is a Ukrainian flag on the last car for.
