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.

What have you got on the Libra Steve? (and Spyder??)

I think the folder names make sense

Sanzomat,

I'll out a list up on the Libra forum sometime over the weekend

Steve

Can these be stored on the forum in a more easily found location or at least stickied?

There's some great stuff in there, Ken. 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??

That's a great archive Ken. thanks for sharing!

Magic stuff Ken, I haven't ever seen mention of the GTM 1-3 "90 Special" before.

That helps with the legitimacy of my rose jointed rear links as the brochure refers to " specially tuned and adjustable suspension"

I've had to move the resource due to bandwidth Problems.

Not to fancy a look at the moment, work in progress.

Great stuff thanks Ken!!

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.
