Bertini Falco - New BMW Z3 based Kit Car

[AnthonyCherry]

I will dig out those badge details for you. It was a Chinese company I found on alibaba.

The indicators are put in the place of the reversing lights.

My 321bhp Z3M has had its Bertini kit fitted and is on its way to the paint shop to get a nice metallic red makeover! Hopefully all sorted and ready to sit on the stand at the National Kit Car Show at Stoneleigh. Plus my leaflets have arrived from the printers. Really nice and thick quality with a few high resolution shots on the back.
Getting a bit nervous for the launch next weekend!!!!

Car looks stunning, I'm no expert on kit cars but it also looks really well executed. Good job.

I wouldn't be nervous - looks a total quality product.

Getting away from a stock Z3 colour is a great move imho - that metallic blue helped gave away orgins much easier - especially with the wheels as well.

Personally I'd like to see it with a tad longer/sharper nose or maybe longer headlights but this is being ultra picky for what is undoubtedly a class looking act. It does look really coherent which has always been a problem with a lot of rebodies.

Suspect you may be single handedly responsible for Z3 values increasing, lol!

You deserve to be on a winner.

I have been a bit absent for a while. Crazy busy getting the kits ready for the first few customers.
Here are a couple of pictures. The first one is taken at the end if the London-Brighton classic, sports and kit car run. Both the Bertini GT25s sitting next to a series1 etype roadster and a dodge viper :-)



The next is he second front cover feature article for the Bertini GT25 in the July issue of TKC Magazine out in the shops next week.

Here are a few of the latest pictures which have had a bit of photoshop editing. The original pictures were taken for a feature article in TKC magazine.

Read an account of Dave's Bertini build experience on the Bertini GT25 website.
There are a few pictures of the process and finished car.

I saw a picture with open bonnet, the whole front comes up, how do you open it and were does it lock/bumps on?

[AnthonyCherry]

It uses the original bonnet springs snd catch. And the original gas rams.
The bonnet un-latches through the front grill.
It's pretty easy to do. The original parts bolt onto the Bertini kit in the same positions.

[GTRene]

the front grill? It looks closed, did you make a longer lever on it?
also I guess the bumper/damper is gone?

Here is a recent picture taken in the woods of one of my Bertini GT25s

[AnthonyCherry]

Complete Kit Car magazine has just published a feature article on the their completed Bertini GT25. Made the front cover too. :-)

[GTRene]

I met up with one of my Bertini customers and his recently finished red GT25. Also my recently completed black Bertini for a few photos with my new camera.

[GTRene]
