Piper GTR Consigned to us for our auction in August is this truly unique car. It is the only one in existence, as the man that ownes the company that builds these, built it himself and has owned it since. Known as a "Piper GTR", this car is a replica of the Piper Le Mans car from 1969. The current owner is one of the original Designer/Engineers that built the original car, having had a sucessful racing career himself. Originally there were 4 race cars built, using a Lotus Twin Cam engine with a Hewland gearbox. This oneoff replica, uses a Ford Zetec engine and 5 speed box (plenty of room for alternative engines) plus many other Ford components for ease of maintenance and repair. He also built some modifications into the replica to improve on the earlier design, so aiding things like cooling to the engine and access to the cockpit. He does still have all the mouldings for this actual car's panels and these are available seperately to the buyer if required by private treaty. It has covered some 50 miles since built and has been stored in his private garage at all times. Ideal for hillclimbing etc. or with some further updates and modification could possibly be road registered. It is being offered as a running concern but for display use only, not for road use.
