Murray was a chartered accountant by profession[2] and raced an ERA and subsequently a Maserati 4CLT both domestically and in European events, before forming Ecurie Ecosse in 1952.[1] He also participated in rallies and hill-climbs.[2] After one World Championship event, for Ecosse, Murray retired as a driver to concentrate on running the team.[2][1] Ecurie Ecosse won the Le Mans 24-hour race in both 1956 and 1957 each time with a Jaguar D-Type.[3][2]

Murray moved abroad and was killed in a road accident in the Canary Isles on 5 April 1973.[1]
