I "archived" a lot of stuff from the "GTM Resource" webpage that existed. A lot of magazine/book scans, old sales materials. The build manuals, GTMOC Tech book etc. I can share a dropbox link if needed. |

The Racing Minis implies that the Geoff Bird car was CCC's converted car of the year yet I don't recall seeing an article on it -- would be interested if anyone's got a copy. My CCC history in the later years gets a bit hazy -- probably when they moved away from the fix it in the garage stuff. I'll try to post a list of the stuff I've got later today. Steve |

Some of them coupe write-ups i haven't seen for years - since i was a teenager back in the early 80's & dreamed about owning a coupe! Should these be put in the members section?? |

Magic stuff Ken, I haven't ever seen mention of the GTM 1-3 "90 Special" before. http://www.dmross.plus.com/GTM1-3/GTM1-308web.jpg That helps with the legitimacy of my rose jointed rear links as the brochure refers to " specially tuned and adjustable suspension" |

Great stuff Ken, I also have a KMB brochure the same as the later GTM car's one but with the KMB name on it, I visited KMB in 1979 or 1980 to have a look and almost ordered a car, they had a demo car, but don't think they actually made it! interestingly they offered aircon as and extra, I wonder how they would have fitted it? In 1980 I saw XPL16G Cox GTM advertised and bought it from north London with drum brakes all around and 998 engine with a single carb, it did not stay like that for long, I still have XPL's log book, MOT's and receipts for building a big bore 'S' engine and 's' disc brakes.
