GTM Coupe: the Mid-Engined Mini GT Racer you've never heard of!

Have you ever thought about building a mid-engined sports and racing car on a shoestring budget?
That’s what Bernard Cox had in mind back in 1967.
He built the original GTM Coupe and the concept generated a lot of interest in the Kit Car and Racing world.
Although Bernard built the first GTM Cox model, he wearied of the project and passed the legacy on to his test driver, Howard Heerey.
Since that first pass of the baton, the GTM Coupe has been developed under several different owners and has led to a variety GTM models.
Unfortunately, the Coupe was lost to production as the new models were introduced but the Hambly Coupe is now living in that “Back to the Future” scene in the evolution of the GTM Story.
Stay with us as Trevor Rolfe and Derek Hambly share the compelling and “ever-lasting” history of GTM.
We thank Derek Hambly for sharing time with us to explain the winding path of GTM development and corporate ownership.
Our work documents the history of the GTM Coupe specifically, other GTM models, the Hambly Coupe and honours the enthusiasm of GTM owners everywhere.
