For anyone with the slightest interest in motoring affairs, the name Gordon Murray will be a familiar one. For many years (1969-1991) he was a highly succesfull designer of Formula 1 race cars for both the Brabham and McLaren teams. However, the project he is probably more widely known for is the design and creation of the legendary McLaren F1 in 1989, the fastest production car of its time, the finest sports car of its generation and for many, the greatest supercar ever built. Today, the few on sale command truly enormous values.

In 2007 Gordon Murray Design consultancy was established and the first fruits of this was the lightwieght T25 city car programme, using a unique manufacturing process. Many other projects followed including involvement with the revived TVR's new Griffith and the Rocket, an ultra-lightweight, open cockpit roadster powered by a one litre motorcycle engine.  In September 2016 it was announced that Murray had been appointed to develop the Ox, a flat pack low-cost vehicle for the British charity Global Vehicle Trust.

In summer 2020, the long anticipated T50 supercar was unveiled, regarded by many as the true successor to the F1. This highly innovative hyper GT has been engineered to be the purest, lightest, most driver-centric supercar ever. and which Professor Murray believes is his ultimate car design. 

The T50 will be bullt in limited numbers at the company's headquarters in Guildford, Surrey, starting in early 2022.

Grinnall Specialist Cars Ltd, based near Bewdley in Worcestershire, is a centre for radical sports car design and home of the Scorpion. For nearly twenty years, Grinnall's talented team of designers, engineers and craftsmen have dedicated themselves to providing top quality performance on wheels.

The company's reputation, under their founder Mark Grinnall, was first made by its extensively reworked and refined conversions of the Triumph TR7. By 1990 some 350 Triumph TR8s had been made. The Triumph Register now recognises the Grinnall TR8 as a marque in its own right.

Then, in 1991 the company took a new direction and began work on the design of an innovative, high-tech three wheeler which became the Scorpion 111 and then in 1998, due to popular demand, they began developing a four wheeled version to become known as the Scorpion 1V. The Scorpion 111 is available with a wide range of BMW powerplants and Grinnall is a BMW 'partner' with an Original Equipment Manufacturer supply status, which allows them to buy engines and parts directly from the manufacturer. Grinnall are also well-known fo making a range of exciting trikes (three-wheeled motorcycles), based on Triumph and BMW motorbikes.
