My GTM Libra some pics

[stevemiller]

I have had a hankering for one of these for years. I nearly went for one around 2003 but was distracted due to circumstances. I eventually returned looking at the cars and bought this one three weeks ago. I love the look sort of mini TVR Cerb and hints of of the rump of a Ford GT40.

It complements my MGZTV8 well and I have covered around 1000 miles since my purchase. I hope to have a few track days next year and join a few PH runs when I can manage, anyway here are some pictures taken today.

Why hide them they are part of the landscape. Live in the country can't complain when it smells of ste. I could move but I can put up with the stink for the up sides that living in the countryside bring.

I didn't mean anything, was just linking a photo into the thread for you and gave it a name, the road looks familiar to me I think, where is it?

Nice looking car, it's a shame they aren't making them at the moment

Seems to me like GTM dies as soon as Westy picked them up ?

Already dead really. Changed hands before going to Westfield, whenever I dealt with them it was an absolute pain in the arse.

One of the best looking original kit car designs ever.

Its a shame they don't make them any more, and was the direction the industry should be going.

How much would one cost to insure for a 17y? I've promised my son a car when he hits 17, and one of these would be much better than crappy hatch back

With a 1.4K probobly not a lot, less than a normal car. But only get him one if he has serious ability behind the wheel as they are not the easiest car on the limit, I had a properly set up one with the best bits at the time, I would in no way give my kid one at 17!

A more realistic car is a quantum either a saloon or convertiable a couple on ebay and other sites most run mk2 xr2 engines and running gear and they are the cheapest car to insure for a 17 year old join the club and insurance is around a £1000. Can pick a good one up for under a grand.
