Hi All, Can anybody tell me what year my gtm is, when i bought it it had no reg on it, i cant find chassis no either. I think its an early one as the back looks like other early ones ive seen, the main difference with mine is the subframe at the back is held in by box section not space framed. it all looks original.The car is red and also had a no 91 sticker on bonnet together with old STP stickers on it, if anyone nows the car it would be great for any info.I have pics but dont know how to attach them.

There's a post in General discussion which wll help with posting pictures

Thanks mate i will try and put some pics on later.Do you no were the chassis no might be its a steel body with fibreglass panels.

some pics (hope).[im[img]http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e77/randsy1/fone106.jpg[im[IMG]http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e77/randsy1/fone006.jpg[/img]g][/img]

Interesting
The bonnet is certainly early Cox, the front of the chassis looks similar to mine, (which is '71) although the tunnel appears to be higher and so probably earlier. Is the tunnel the same height throughout the cockpit?
What's the rear frame look like?
Looks like it's in quite good condition.

Hi there, the tunnel is the same hight along the length of the cockpit, the floor is flat with ribs in it and three cross members. The rear is solid sheet metal that the sub frame bolts to not space framed. I have no reg docs or history with the car. The man i bought it of said he had photos of it racing at brands hatch and he would let me have them, but when i went back to see him he had moved on with no forwarding address. He told me it had been in a barn for 12 years before he bought it and the roof of the barn had fallen down so a new roof section and screen surround has been graphed on to the body. I have most of the bits to do it, missing is hand brake, front and rear screens, seats, intierior, all mechanics seem to be there.

Interesting, never seen one like that.
Have you seen the pics of mine, I would suggest yours is earlier.

Yep, that looks 'normal' for an early tub.

Be nice to see a few pics of that, I've never seen the sheet metal frame.


Hmm, that's boring

Ahh, that would account for it looking so good the doors look newer as well.

Standard early Mini (mk1 to 3), the type with 2 cables.

Rear is perspex, there is some info on bending a sheet to fit if you do a search.
Front screen........funny you should mention that I may be able to help there. If you haven't already seen it, have a look at this:http://gtmdrivers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=261

Here's a pic of an early Cox front:

There looks to be a badge on the bonnet - is it legible?

And those wheelarch extensions are Mini Special - yick. But it looks like you've already removed them.

What engine has it got in?

This Cox is the same chassis layout as my friends one, with the high tunnel, flat floor ect.

His Cox was the K.A.D hillclimb twin cam car.        

The chassis numbers on all the early Cox (with the flat section box pirimids) that 'I' have seen are located on the top of the 'rear subframe' turret mount on the drivers side. Its nothing special 
just a small bit of plane aluminum plate.

You might know that I have a Cox also if you get stuck give me a pm

The badge on the front is a small rectangle badge in black with GTM in silver. The engine was a 998cc a serice mini engine on an early gearbox, the front brakes are cooper s (now on my mini) rears are std drums with looks like adapters for handbrake. Ive had the car for over a year now and not done much with it. I bought it for the front brakes to go on my mini, then got intrested into what i have bought, i was going to scrap the rest but i think i might try and restore it. The problem with that is no docs or any thing, anybody got any sugestions about that.

Im going to come to the kitcar show at the weekend as i live in peterborough, i will take some more photos and bring them along and try and find you all. Looking forward to seeing one complete might give me an idea of how much work ive got to do.
