Micron GT finally found

Finally, the Micron GT has been unearthed from its hiding place after many years. A bit more on its history here. At some stage, the car's body has been mildly modified with different windows in its gull wing doors and wide rear wheel arches but it is the same car, with the yellow paint still underneath the current red. According to the DVLA the registration 'ANR 608B' was applied in 1986, which seems odd. It also says the car uses an 1100 engine. That could well be the case as one report mentions the original 850 Mini Pick Up engine being swapped over for an 1100. The adjustable wheel suspension to the Bray brothers' own design is still there.

I received several messages from people who are very much interested in the car. One of them wrote: "I went to view it in the late 1980’s! The car was owned by a college lecturer in Coalville, Leicestershire and had a BMC Maxi engine part fitted then. It was in a very poor condition, the Maxi engine was in a shed! From memory, they were trying to use the cable gear linkage. It was advertised in an old Autotrader magazine in the small adverts and I went with my late father and friend, I was around 18 at the time. I always regretted walking away from it!"

The current owner is thinking of selling the car, but I'm awaiting some final input. More soon.
