Re: Johnney and Gordon Murry's car collection.
What a great video, thanks very much for posting.
He's always been one of my heroes , I went to a Motorsport magazine "Evening with Gordon Murray " in London a few years ago, what a great laid back guy.
I'm really into small fun cars, that feel like you're doing 90 when you're only doing 50. I bought my Smart Brabus Roadster ( from Ian Donkin ) after reading that Gordon had driven one for 14 years, ( his was standard not Brabus ) and following the theme of his collection I have an Elise, Caterham, Fiat 500 in Abarth spec' and a few other quirky motors.
When he said he had "one bedroom and twenty two garages" he went up even further in my estimation !

Hi Guys
Sadly they didn't mention the yellow DeTomaso Vallelunga tucked away in a corner, I've always fancied one of the (very few) Lotus Twin Cam engined cars they built.
Not that they built a lot of them with the ford engine for that matter.
All the best
