Ensign was a Formula One constructor from Britain. They participated in 133 grands prix, entering a total of 155 cars. Ensign scored 19 championship points and no podium finishes. The best result was a 4th place at the 1981 Brazilian Grand Prix by Marc Surer, who also took fastest lap of the race.
​
Ensign was founded by Morris Nunn who also carried out design duties during the first two seasons of the team's existence. Nunn would later go on to be a prominent chief engineer in the American-based Champ Car series, winning championships with drivers Alex Zanardi and Juan Pablo Montoya in the late 1990s.

WHATS THERE NOW..
​
​
​
Mo Nunns house, is still there at 19 Holly Lane, Great Wyrley where he designed and manufactured his
first Formula1™ Car, before moving the Ensign team to their factory at what is now Queens industrial estate, Chasetown - in what is now an unassuming industrial estate in the middle of Chasetown housing estate.
​
Very little remains of the former F1 team, with little or no mention of the team locally
