'GEM911G' also has no export marker against it, so I suppose you could always buy the shell and apply for it....
Bit of a reduction now but originally they were sold on Ebay a few months ago for about £1200, probably what they're worth for someone who wants them to keep in case they smash their car up or as repair sections for a project.. can't see another use for them. To try and build a car from those would be a huge and expensive job and stilll only be a replica with no Unipower chassis number. The original car 'GEM 911G' was a little beauty in 'Midnight Blue' and black and I spoke to the first owner recently about the car. He ordered it with a 998 Cooper engine and it was delivered to Merseyside after it's appearance at a car show in Manchester in 1968, with the engine on a pallet. Anyway, it fell into disrepair (after a shunt by the looks of it as the rear clam's buggered) and Gerry Hulford built a new car using the chassis and parts for a Japanese customer who wanted a race car lookalike in yellow, with big arches etc. That car was exported a few years ago as you've spotted Rich.I thought GC Motors were selling up the business and the overpriced Mini's that have sat there for years?Pete wrote:This modded MK3 S sold at the NEC for £25K+ commission which seemed about right?.

Talking of overpriced, somebody really does need their head feeling if an early Mk1 disguised as a flatpack "1966 Cooper S" is worth close on £50K.

You could build that for about half that price, that makes the S logbook they used to build it with about £25Ks worth!
