Legendary automotive designer Gordon Murray - the creative mind behind so many winning Brabham and McLaren F1 cars - was made a Commander of the British Empire on Thursday by The Duke of Cambridge, Prince William.
The ceremony which took place at Buckingham Palace recognized the contributions made by Murray to motorsport and the automotive industry in the past 50 years.
"Receiving a CBE from Prince William is one of the highlights of my life – right up there with Formula One World Championship wins or creating the world’s fastest production car," said the 72-year-old designer who indeed also penned the iconic McLaren F1 road car.
"The Gordon Murray Group is about to embark on an exciting new chapter, with ground-breaking innovation once again driving our growth.
"Energised by this accolade I can’t wait to continue the journey, supported by a dedicated and hugely talented team."
