Gordon Murray Automotive's purpose-built Vehicle Production Centre in Surrey is up and runningHonestly, you look away for two minutes and someone has built a car factory. It certainly doesn’t seem like the best part of four years since Gordon Murray announced that his eponymous company would be moving to a. But looking back, GMA said at the time that it expected to move into its new manufacturing facility in 2024 - and hey presto, here we are.
