Alex Summers, a former British Hillclimb Champion (and still current top-ten runner) did a lot of the development driving on that .... it's a pretty nippy thing! ... but then Alex is some car-pedaler!

PS ... Alex is some racecar builder in his own right too!
This is a car he built for his Mum and Wife to race ... all CF ... hard to imagine the work in that ...
That was Alex chatting through the window giving him his briefing when he first got in the car at the start of the vid ... seriously talented people have worked there!
Company was started by the late Sir David McMurtry, ex-RR jet engineer and founder of Renishaw plc. He also commissioned the build of Swiinhay House. He and his family never lived there though, it's just let out for charitable events and as a filming location.

All-round cool dude, his factories around here employ loads of locals.
The video I posted is quite interesting because after the initial driving of the Speirling, they get into the background of the where, why, how and whom. They also discuss Swinhay house, as mentioned by Tim, and show elements of it and the history of the vehicle development stages,
