Probably because with Jonny he can just fully 'geek-out' about the engineering of each car, the details that attracted him to it, reasons behind his design choices with his own creations, etc and not get blank stares in return. :) Imagine trying to explain to some non-motoring enthusiast why the original 84 hp Lotus Seven is so much better to commute to work in than the latest BMW 3 series with close to 2 tonnes of heated and cooled seats, apple carplay/android auto, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, AEB, intrusive traction control and stability control, muted exhaust, -by-wire everything, laggy emissions control throttle inputs, auto gearbox, airbags, etc, etc. If you mention weight penalties, view obstructing pillars, economy 'tech', driver failsafes, etc, they'll think you're listing positives, as all they're interested in is being able to legally text and drive with the tech to stop them crashing when distracted or not checking blindspots (created by the pillars designed to prevent them being crushed if the car is upside down). Try to tell them you can replace all that yourself to prevent reaching the stage of needing all of that safety stuff with paying attention properly, for fast road driving, applying IAM, RoSPA and/or Roadcraft (all sort of the same thing really) 'advanced' driving techniques to make the maximum safe progress (this training is what enabled the police to safely do 160 mph when conditions enable it, it's not about 'the shuffle' as is commonly misunderstood when police advanced driving is talked about), and they'll ask why add so much more to the labour of commuting.

In motorsport he is very influential, but I just do not think he has had a significant impact on road cars. Sure, the F1 was great, but I don't think that any of Murray's engineering has transitioned to everyday road cars. In fact, everyday road cars have followed a long-term trend to get heavier and bigger, which is exactly the opposite of what Murray espouses. I'm happy for someone to put me right on his impact on the everyday road car though.

Finally understand the essential lightness of the M F1. Who knew big men could fit in a Lotus 7? The Caterhams and things nowadays have been stretched a bit, will have to compare the sizes properly. Most agree the weight of recent autos is out of control. Even new Minis are tanks now. I know, safety standards, quiet, comfort, etc. In a Merc S class sure, why not. In a real sports car? Forget it. Will have to keep buying older, lighter, low cg cars. Thanks again.

I'm happy you like the Pistachio Lotus Europa TC. I was at Lotus from 1966 to 1973 and working in Marketing I was told my company car was to be a Renault engined Europa prior to the UK launch, which Chapman had given to some Aristocrat and the Sahara beige paint had crazed so I was told to get it repainted. When I asked what colour I was told to pick it myself. I had seen Pistachio on a Miura so that's what I chose. I picked the car up from the paint shop in Norwich and parked it in the out of bounds Director's Car park at Hethel. It looked a million dollars but ACBC was not impressed and I got off. However Mr Chapman was always open to positive statements so I had 3 months to prove my claim it would become the best selling colour. I kept my job!

Thank you 😎 I think it's testament to Gordon Murray's character and work-ethic that, over his near-60 years of working in the industry, he's always been so utterly focused on lightweight, purposeful engineering and design - just as with his own idol, Colin Chapman. It would no doubt be absolutely fascinating to see how GMA plans (if, indeed, it even does...?) to move into the EV-space...? 🤔 As an aside, though, I was as equally interested in his 50cc 'screamers' bikes around the outer walls of his car-cave...! As a (past) biker myself, I always found the most enjoyment riding a small displacement, 2-stroke bike... the thrill of high revs... the sudden rush as the engine hit its power-band... the planning and skill required to keep the engine 'on boil'... 🏍 Great memories...
