(Almost) Live from the NEC in Birmingham, I was sent these shots taken at the Unipower display at the Classic Car Show by Colin Baines. Tim Carpenter, who put the beautiful display together, tells me the collection of Unipowers is very well received with the cars getting lots of attention. It does look cracking!
Mark Butler re-imported this car from the US in 2006 and beautifully restored it. He is seen behind it here in the green jacket, with two more GT-owners (Pete Flanagan and Gary Marlow) The car is now owned by Mark Glashier

Tim Carpenter's GT is the first production car. Tim bought it in 1982 as a rolling shell in a poor condition and fully restored it during the 1980s. But it's only now that he regularly uses it.

Pete Flanagan's car is a lightweight racer that comes with Downton tuned 1293 engine. It was owned and raced by Janspeed's Geoff Mabbs and later by Cars and Car Conversions magazine

Tim (right) is seen here with Thomas Jay, another Unipower owner. Thomas is restoring the GT he bought in 1971, crashed in 1975 and which he is currently restoring (some pictures here)
