New forum member. HILLCLIMB GTM R1
Hi to all. My name is Dermot and i bought my GTM a year ago. I've been looking for info on the web about Cox GTM's but didn't come up with much. I was posting on the mini forum for a while because i didn't know about this forum. And then finally last night (BAM) oh the joy. I'm hoping that someone here knows my car and can give me some history on it. Here are a few pics. Looking forward to a long membership. Thanks Dermot.

Blummin 'ell. We were only talking about your car the other day on here, when I got it mixed up with another car! I'm sure there is someone on here that knows something about the car. Is it fun? Anyway, welcome to the forum, hope you enjoy it.

Re: New forum member. HILLCLIMB GTM R1
Thanks for the welcome. I'm still in the middle of the build so i haven't tasted the thrill of it yet. But i'm sure it will be a barrell of laughts in the corners. Iv'e not see any others like it, is this a one off kit or is there other wide arch kits out there?

viewtopic.php?f=1&t=187Here is the post that has another wide arch Coupe. I would think that there hasn't been any "production" of wide arch Coupes, but I may be wrong. It may be worth taking some molds, just in case the worse happens and you need to make repairs

Re: New forum member. HILLCLIMB GTM R1
Pretty certian it will be a one off body as it does look rather rounded off compared to others for example around the a pillars and B pillars,
There are two Coupes i know of which had wider aches from the factory the original lancia car, and another. which are standard bodywork modified to suit,
