The production of the VERDE should not be so hard considering alot of the work and custom manufactured chassis/suspension parts is already done.
The GTM body style is still a thing of beauty to me anyways, and if it greatly resembles the GTM my feelings would not be hurt too much.
I imagine Peter got a lot of feedback from those in the industry while attending the shows. Certainly Pelmear was impressed with it, and that was good enough to close the deal.
From what I understand,this deal with Pelmear came just a little too late or the VERDE body style would have been at the shows instead of the verde chassis wearing the GTM body shell.....
It should be clear enough to all that the GTM was a proving point to Pelmear and those backing Pelmear, as well as GM.
I dont believe it was ever Peters intent to produce and sell the GTM in any great numbers.
The VERDE already exists, just needs Colloraffi to slap the proper body on the chassis he designed, and then drop in Pelmears engine.
When you check out what the white GTM has under the hood cowling as compared to the setup for the F5 GTM, and read the comments from GTM builders, you get the impression the cooling system may also be for the VERDE.
Peters chassis design should allow for it to built with either left or right side steering and petals.
Lastly, remember that there is no real big market for the
GTM at this time and many top end custom builds sell for well under a hundred G's. If there is no market for a left hand drive, why build a right hand drive model?
If you guys think your gas bill is high, try Europe's petrol prices. The savings on gas over time could pay for the car LOL.
Anyone here have a larger monthly gasoline bill than car payment?
Its way too beautiful a day to spend inside, and I hear the bbq and a cold beer calling me eh?
Cheers.
