That's gutting, they've just sold for under £500, ridculously cheap for a new pair. Wrong style for mine but I'm sure there's a a GK owner who'd have snapped them up at that price.
Now I'm gutted too - though I don't need them at present I'd have bought them at that price just to have them in reserve.

Oh, and if anyone knows anything about this one, or has photos (especially before it was yellow), it'd be great to hear from you.

Looking very fine - and all the better for losing the Wolfrace wheels and the wing vents (IMHO). I know the wing vents were a popular Ernie Knott modification but I've never understood why. My car has never shown the slightest inclination to overheat and careful attention to sealing and insulation around the bulkhead area means I don't get much engine heat intrusion into the cabin.

That's the thing with these older limited production cars, sometimes you have to cast your 'parts' net a little wider. Here's another one, this time a decent usable spare:-

The dark met grey really suits that GK, what a lovely beast that is....two tone yellow did NOT work on any level!

The thing I like about GK's is that from various angles they have styling clues from many of the supercars of the day....lovely lovely things.

After the earlier postings about tail lights, I have posted on the GK link below about a pair of mark 11 tail lights I now have for sale, following the sale of #60.
