Cannon GT

I'm trying to find any information about the Cannon GT car which where built in the mid sixties by Mike Cannon who I understand made two cars. I'm advised they had limited circuit racing in the UK, and possibly later some autocross.. and where fitted with Ford 1300 engines, but that about it...!

Thanks

Is this one of the cars you are looking for?

Mike was a friend of ours and made my trailer for me back in the 60s.

He was better known for the Cannon Trials cars

I often used to go up to Crooked Chimneys to buy or scrounge bits n pieces off of Mike.
He would build trailers out of whatever he could lay his hands on and he built me a two wheeler that lasted years with its Zephyr Mk 1 hubs !
I always saw the "fiddle brake" cars in various states of build mostly with the 1172 side valve lumps in them , but I will admit I never saw (or can't remember ) seeing the car in question . But I know a man that will, I shall enquire !
