After a lot of deliberation I've decided that I'm currently not able to focus on the Coupe project as I would like and rather than let it languish I've decided to sell it on. The company that has purchased the project is D H Engineering services run by Derek Hambly. Many of you will have seen Derek's thread detailing the excellent job he's making of his Heerey rebuild. Derek is a time-served GTM guy having owned a 10" wheel car back in the day. He also has a major advantage in that he runs a fully equipped engineering workshop so should be able to make major progress in supplying parts. He also has some interesting ideas as to how the project can be re-rejuvenated.

I'd like to thank all of the people who've provided encouragement, ideas, technical knowledge and support -- also those people who bought parts and the suppliers involved.

Passing on the project doesn't mean I'm quitting the scene -- I've still got the white coupe to rebuild, a Heerey 1.3 rebuild to start, the Primo Coupe and the Libra on the fleet. Hopefully I'll still be able contribute to threads on the site and possibly even attend a few more events.

All that remains is to wish Derek success with the project in the future -- I'm sure he'll post soon with his contact details and outline some of his ideas.

I had heard a rumour

Sorry to hear you ended up having to make this decision but as you say hopefully it will take the project to the next step.

Sorry to hear that Steve and thanks for help handed out during your tenure, glad that you still have a few cars to keep you involved! Also best of luck to Derek with his new venture please keep us up to date with developments

Sorry to hear that Steve, keep us updated on your projects seems like i got my sills from you just in time, thanks again

Hi All,
I have indeed purchased the Coupe Project from Steve.
Have yet to sort out all that I have bought!
I rent space in a sheet metal workshop and thus am in a position to supply complete floor pans ex-stock and will also be able to offer cut and folded replacement panels.
At the moment I have drawings for all the panels for the 13" wheel cars and the Heerey 1.3 model.
In 1976 I bought my first GTM and almost remember how the rear floor pan was done so should also be able to supply parts for the old cars with a bit of help.
I have the full set of moulds for the 13" wheel cars.
I also have a reasonably well equipped machine shop.
Soon I hope to set up a web site with full contact details and price list etc.

Not a decision taken lightly -- quite a wrench if I'm honest BUT as per the above Derek is in a position to hit the ground running and has the facilities, ideas and energy to make a better job of the project.

I'll still probably interfere on the technical side and if I'm making enough progress I'll start a re-build thread for the white car.

Hi Derek,
How is the assembly of info going? I am getting on quite well with my Solidworks model, just have the front end to do, which is the tricky bit!
Good luck and I look forward to hearing what your plans are.
Simon
