Enzo Ferrari is a big man. Big, fleshy nose. Big, loose mouth. Big, solid body. The next thing that you notice about him is that he bears about as much resemblance to most car makers and the rest of motor racing’s constructors as an ageing lion to a day-long mayfly. And then, quick upon that, there’s the realisation that he’s ...

McLaren people refer to it as Unit 2. It is the polar opposite of their extraordinary, Space Odyssey McLaren Technical Centre headquarters in Woking, with its glass walls and cooling lake and famous architect and unnerving clinical sterility.

They gather on a gorgeous spring day, the sky a deep Bugatti blue, to pay homage to the 60th anniversary of the greatest sports car maker in the world. Nine cars, six of which represent the best of the breed, the others a trio of tempting real-world propositions. Appropriately all but two of the Ferraris are blood red – that ...

So the Miura is dead. Beset by pollution problems, hemmed in by speed limits, noise restrictions and the ruinous cost of fuel, and finally knocked on the head by the safety lobby in several countries at once, the last of the great extrovert of supercars has gone.With it, of course, goes a way of life. One could almost say that ...

Bayley visits the McLaren Technology Centre (CAR archive April 2007)

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

My first visit to McLaren was 1967, organised by a dutiful parent with industry connections. In those days the premises was an insanitary lock-up garage on a Weybridge trading estate. A boggle-eyed schoolboy, I was admiring the M6 Can-Am car. My boggling increased when, from out back, a cheery, chattery bloke emerged in grubby racing overalls, unpolished lace-ups, rubbing Swarfega ...
