SUMMARY
Good looking kit car with Metro GTi 1.4 Twin-Cam motivation, in need of recommissioning and on offer without Reserve.
DESCRIPTION
- The little coupé on offer here is the spiritual Grandson of the original Cox GTM (Grand Touring Mini) that was introduced at the Racing Car Show in 1967 generating much excitement amongst Mini owners looking for a project
- There were a number of Mini-based specials available at the time but the GTM was very highly regarded
- Ownership of the company changed hands a couple of times and this China Blue example is the handiwork of the Leicestershire-based, GTM Car Company Ltd and dates from around 1997
- This is a full fibreglass monocoque design with two Metro subframes fore and aft with 'Hydrolastic' suspension
- Powered by a Rover Metro 1.4 GTi Twin Cam with single-point injection offering 95bhp, 0-60 in just 8.6 seconds and 115mph
- The car has a good hardtop and a pretty good soft top which has rarely been used
- Our vendor has owned the car since 2004 with it last being used in 2006 then garaged
- This could well be a worthwhile project financially, but will be fun either way as these little mid-engine coupés are surprisingly quick and remarkably sure-footed
