Experts?

De Bruyne Grand Sport, that should have been a successor for Gordon Keeble as far as I know

It seems you're right:

Anyone has more informations according to this car? Who was the Designer?

This is All I have:

An American, John de Bruyne, bought the rights to the Gordon-Keeble and, in 1968, took space at the new York Motor Show to drum up the business. On the stand were two re-badged Gordon-Keebles and a new-mid-engined coupe which had a 5.7 Chevrolet engine, a five-speed transaxle, and a claimed top speed of 180 mph / 290 kmh. That more or less concludes the story of the De Bruyne.

Maybe he should had been chosen the name 'Gordon Keeble' again even when he had the rights... It's a quite good looking car.
Thanks for the info!

Amazing shots - wow! The car - or rather the body - was still around five or six years ago. It belonged to a guy in Oxfordshire who talked about putting the 'shell on a Foreman P4 chassis. I'd love to know where it is now (I lost his details dammit...).

Great pics Arunas! Thanks a lot!

Does anyone have fresh pictures of this car? I'd be glad if there was a color pic of the finished prototype.
