A Bradley GT2 is something you don’t see everyday. This car was in bad shape when acquired and wasn’t running. One of the main issues was the fact that a rodent of some kind had eaten through the entire wire loom through an access hatch underneath one of the sills. With electric pop-up headlights and an electric only-release for the fuel tank it was a bit of an issue.

These were fibreglass kit cars meant for the home DIY builder that mounted onto a standard VW chassis (as long as it was a king-pin) and had these amazing gull-wing doors that gave it a distinctive look (and water leaks). It was treated to a maroon full respray (the original glitter gelcoat was a little tired) and someone in California bought it and had it shipped out. With it were the complete build manual and a detailed account of each time the original builder worked on it, including who was there and what was accomplished. An interesting car to drive, and if you were tall enough, you could just take out the windows in the roof and poke your head out the top.
