I found this GTM Libra for sale in Wales in August 2007 and it's a kit car I'd always wanted to build. This one had been built by Brian, had only done 10000miles since 2000, been put together really well with a few neat touches and was very clean and tidy. It's based on Rover Metro components and now has a 1.8 VVC K-Series engine (providing 160BHP and giving 0-60 in under 6secs). |
Below you'll find pics of how I've modified the car and you'll find some interesting before and after shots. The car draws attention everywhere it goes and I always end up stepping out of the car with a smile! |
