Very nice little cars, myself and West went years ago to look at one that was for sale just outside Bournemouth I think..?
It sold within a very short time after being advertised on eBay to a chap from Spain. The owner /seller, wasn’t expecting the offer he got.... £22,000
You have to bear in mind this was a good 15 years or so ago, and the car in question hadn’t moved in 20 something years, it was barely holding itself together due to how rusty the chassis was.
I have had a few chats with owners/admirers of Unipower Gt’s, and their ‘seems’ to be the option that they are FAR superior in every aspect to the Cox.
Now as I said they are a nice thing but.... they do suffer as any other car from little issues, such as suspension mounting plate failures (cracking along welds) among others, but the Cox isn’t perfect either.
Comparing the two cars a Cox and a Unipower gt, ride wise the Cox seems to be stiffer, but if you haven’t sorted the rear steer issues on your Cox then this will be a wasted advantage against the Uni on the track.
Performance wise well I would say according to factory specs the Uni gt would be slower, but then again it’s not giving the cooper s performance figures..... so..?
It’s 2 whole kg lighter than the Cox factory figures though.
Ive only been on a track once with a Uni Gt, and it wasn’t fair as the Uni only had a 1275cc standard engine fitted. Still the owner of that car did feel it was his duty to tell me his car wasn’t a kit and how fast his car was and that I wouldn’t ever be able to keep up with him...
Really...
He said to me afterwards well... erm... yes...your car is a bit faster than I thought
But if anyone does have a little Uni gt that they want to offload for free, I’ll come take it off them..
