Numele Connaught isi are originile in anii 1950, din cadrul competitiilor open-wheel. Dupa ce a produs o serie de masini de F2, compania a ajuns la apogeul dezvoltarii sale in 1955, atunci cand pilotul Tony Brooks a castigat Grand Prix Siracuza intr-un Connaught. Din pacate, Connaught a avut o viata scurta si a fost inchisa in 1957.

Astazi, brandul este sustinut de doi fosti consultanti de la Jaguar, Tim Bishop si Tony Martindale, care au lucrat la programul Jaguar X-type.

Achizitionand numele, Bishop si Martindale au fondat o companie noua Connaught Motor Company in Daventry, Northamptonshire, Anglia, care in scurt a produs un cupe sportiv Connaught Type D.
