Gitane GT

George Fowell Plant Ltd, an established manufacturer of construction and industrial machinery in Wolverhampton, built a mid-engined sports car in 1962.^[1] The Gitane featured a rear-mounted 997c.c. Mini engine, Weber carburettor, multi-tubular frame, and disk brakes.^[2] A top speed of 130 mph (210 km/h) was claimed.^[1] Unfortunately, the Gitane was too highly-priced, and production ended after a few cars were built.^[1]
