Wow, great job Quiller! (killer!!!)
Obviousely this car was never finished, but it seems to be a recent restauration project! I've posted to a guy of the Gilbern page, but he only submitted me these pics. He couldn't tell me more about the status quo.
I wished my 100th puzzle would have had a longer lifetime! :-[

@Allemano: Maybe You have any more pictures of this car? The total information about this car seems to be quite scarce online (Gilbern Owners Club and maybe few other websites :-\

In the 'History' chapter you will get some infos!
The car very much resembles the line of the Monteverdi Hai, but it's not proven whether Trevor Fiore was involved in the T-11 project

Those rather tall guys seems to be neither flexible nor sporty at all.
Shaquille O'Neil wouldn't fit into a Formula1 cockpit neither.
maybe it wasn't safety regulations that made it remain a still-born project, perhaps it was simply impossible to get it on the test track...

Needs one of these.

Hi not to sure where to start with this so hear we go.....a design by Trevor Fiore from 1969 a 1/3rd clay model was made and sent to specialised mouldings for a mould to be made this was then sent back to Gilbern for the 1st body shell to be produced, during this time the chassis work began and rolling chassis was tested at castle combe race circuit in 1970 with a few alloy panels attatched a speed of over 120mph was achived , very little work was done by the factory after this as money was short and the mk11 invader was being built so it was pushed into a corner of the works and left. After Gilbern closed Roger Collins gave the car to the owners club, some work was done over the next few years but various reasons never finished. I got it in 2001 and spent the next 10 years getting to where it is now, and there is still more to do to refine a few things......I live in south east kent and if anyone would like to see it or cantact me please do................

Rear view:

From this angle it looks even more like a shrinked Monteverdi Hai.

It certainly does. I was going to post this view as a puzzle until I found the original puzzle..
Both cars were of course designed by Trevor Fioré.
