Top Gear managed to get some time with Murray and a good portion of his collection for a lengthy hour-long video tour. After Murray walks us through his newest car, the T.50S Niki Lauda, he moves on to his personal collection. We re given a history lesson on how he got into racing, and why he owns a Formula 3 car from the Fifties. We re also given a look at his Lotus Seven and a slew of race cars he helped design, including the Brabham BT44B, his first Le Mans car, and his custom 1972 Formula 750 car.
Murray then shows us around the Rocket, his first road-going car. After that, we re given a summary of his ultra-rare De Tomaso Vallelunga and a trio of very special lightweight Abarths. After that, we move onto Murray s Lotuses and even get a look at his high-revving Honda S800.
