About | Gardner Douglas Sports Cars

COMPANY PROFILE

Gardner Douglas has been creating the type of sports cars that engage the driver to a uniquely satisfying driving experience and total engineering perfection since 1990.

Since 1990 much has been written about the company, its people and its cars. At a time when brand is everything it is reassuring to know that a major part of the GD brand is its reputation for always putting quality first. Quality in everything – attitude, skill, engineering and delivery.

THE INSPIRATION

From the outset the company produced premium sports cars for individuals who wanted the very best combination of 60s era design and contemporary handling and performance.

Although Andrew Burrows had designed an entirely new car to demonstrate the company¹s engineering prowess, he chose, wisely, to bring these skills to an established marketplace where there was proven demand likely to sustain a fledgling business.

At one level all sports cars are just a bunch of components, designed, assembled, tested and then driven or raced. Today the global car brands offer staggering levels of sophistication in all their models. Huge investment in research and marketing goes into these ranges and the whole business model is based on the existence of fierce competition from the other big brands.

From the driver's perspective there is a bewildering choice of functionality in contemporary production sports cars...

but not always to their liking.
