here we go then

1989 GTM Coupe, built by us from new in 2004. This car has no V5 or identity, but has an MSA logbook for hillclimb and sprinting. Could easily make a circuit race car.

The car was hot dip galvanised from new, and is a coloured gelcoat finish as opposed to paint. It is in excellent condition, always garaged and used sparingly. (The pictures don't do it justice, it is a bit grubby and the weather was awful).

It has been converted to a stock D16A9, L3 tranny and stock ECU. It is complete, running and ready to compete. Also available is a chipped PP5 ECU, spare ex-CRX Challenge engine and box.

The GTM is rear engined and Mini-based, the Honda lump sits on a modified Mini subframe. The running gear is nearly all Mini, and the cage is an MSA approved unit built from T45 (lightweight) and certified by the manufacturer.

To answer some FAQ:

1. No - it will not be easy to SVA or get a V5, although it is certainly possible. The car has no headlights, handbrake, interior etc. A donor car could provide the identity.

2. I am 6'2" and over 15 stone and I can get in and out and compete in it.

3. It could be converted to B-series

4. It weighs 600kg odd

Gone to a competition car dealer that seems to know a bit about GTMs and history is the word on the street

I bought this car about 4 weeks ago with the intention of sprinting and hill climbing it.
I bought from a dealer in Cheshire who was selling it on behalf of a pal of his, another dealer, who bought the car from Jamie's Dad.

I have joined the GTMOC and this forum and look forward to meeting some of you.

Regards


David Large

Good to see you found us David, I know Jamie and his Dad from another club, Im sure there will be a few questions with the car, seeing I too have been D16 powered in the past.

It will make an awesome hillclimb car, and a little development will make it even better im sure.

I have been a fan of the Cox GTM for a long time. I read the article on Cars and Car Conversions about 40 years ago and in the early 1970's I went to Manchester to look at the kit with a view to building one - I never did though. When I saw this one I just had to get it.
I also belong to another couple of clubs with my other kit car photo attached
