Post Where are they now? - ATJ474J Cox GTM
Hello.
I am a previous owner and wondered what happened to my Jekyll & Hyde Cox GTM, reg ATJ 474J?

It is (was?) very identifiable.
It was red, had 4-spoke alloys - 10" at the front and 12" at the rear, sitting in rather nicely flared & rounded rear wheel arches.
Front indicators came, I think, from an e-type.
Probably the most identifiable part was the dashboard - Walnut dash with Smiths clocks & the centre Abank of switches from an old Jag/ Daimler, like this - http://www.driving.co.uk/s3/st-driving- ... al-XJS.jpg
I put a Minisport 1380cc short engine into it and it already had a Cooper S head.
Fed through a pair of asthmatic 1ΒΌ" SUs
Sadly, it didn't have a manufacturers plate/ serial#.

When I bought it, someone had put an intake louvre in front of the o/s rear wheel arch which pointed forward and a second louvre pointing backwards on the other side at the rear of the rear n/s wheel arch. The idea being to encourage air to flow over the engine and keep everything nice and cool.
It didn't work. So I plumbed a radiator & fan to the front (Allegro I seem to recall?).

I sold the car in the mid to late 1980's I think.
I'm sure the guy that collected it said it was going abroAad, though I still think my dad answered the AutoTrader ad and paid someone to take it away and get shut of it.

I'll have to see if I have any photos of it.
I know that I do have a copy of one of its very few MOT certificates. Gold dust!

Anyone ever seen it since?
Tim

DVLA still have the details of it but it's untaxed, not SORNed or MOT'd. Google "is my car taxed" and enter reg and GTM for make.

Interesting.
MOT due in November 1991 and the car is now black, not red
