Paul Emery

Paul Emery (* November 12, 1916 Chiswick, † February 3, 1993 in Epsom ) was a British racing driver and racing car constructor.

Paul Emery was one of those contemporaries who were always on the lookout for the great success and despite little countable results, it could not be swayed. Together with his father built the young Emery racing car, which they gave the name Emeryson. These race cars were technically innovative, but suffered from the limited financial position of the company and were never fully developed.

Emery, who drove his first race in Formula Junior, played with a Emeryson 1956 Formula 1 race. In Crystal Palace, he finished second behind Stirling Moss and the Grand Prix of Great Britain stopped him an ignition defect.

End of the 1950s Emery built the chassis for the ENB and Scirocco race car. Then he jumped from project to project without ever being able to lead to a resounding success. In 1959 he took over the remnants of being liquidated Connaught racing team and developed their last race car, the Connaught Type C, for race readiness. Also, this project was not a success. Emery's last Formula 1 vehicle was the Shannon SH- 1, which was brought in 1966 for the Grand Prix of Great Britain under Trevor Taylor at the start, but failed in the race in the first round due to a technical defect.

From 1963, Paul Emery built a small coupe, the GT Emery, using the technique of the Hillman Imp Only three cars were built and used at international long distance races, like the 500 - km race at the Nürburgring in 1964 and 1966.
