Engineering:Gitane (1962 sports car)

From HandWiki

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]
