Last November, Arnie Black handed the company over to long-time Crossl\u00e9 customer and enthusiast Paul McMorran, who brings 32 years experience as an engineer and executive in the global oil industry. McMorran intends to take a fresh approach to the business while still safeguarding the values on which Crossl\u00e9 was founded.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A regular competitor in historic racing across Europe, McMorran\u2019s collection of Crossl\u00e9 cars includes the 12F that boosted exports by winning the U.S. Formula B Championship in 1968, and the unique 1970 17F Formula Three car originally raced by John Watson. Paul drove the 17F to 3rd place at the Monaco Historic meeting in 2010.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cI\u2019m very excited by the opportunity to lead this iconic company,\u201d noted the new owner at the announcement. \u201cHistoric motor racing continues to grow in popularity and Crossl\u00e9, with over 50 years of continuous manufacture, has a very special place in that history. The company continues to provide an unbroken link between the people who designed and built Crossl\u00e9 cars here in Northern Ireland, and the many enthusiasts who continue to enjoy them worldwide. Crossl\u00e9 has a famous past, a unique position in the market today, a great team of people and, I believe, a very bright future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThis is wonderful news for the company and its staff,\u201d said Black, who took over ownership and management of Crossl\u00e9 in 1997 from its founder, Dr. John Crossl\u00e9. In its 55-year history, the Crossl\u00e9 Car Company has built over 1,000 competition cars, the majority of them for export.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">McMorran will enjoy the support and advice of company founders John and Rosemary Crossl\u00e9, while their daughter Caroline remains an active director of the company. \u201cI\u2019m delighted to see Paul take the company forward, building on the successes Arnie and his loyal team have achieved over the last 15 years,\u201d said Dr. Crossl\u00e9.
