GT6 (ex Iain Gorrie)
I've just recently purchased this....
interior with these and was informed that it may be an ex modsports racer...... Could anyone shed any light on this/move it to the correct place/give any tips on where to look/who to speak with as I recommission it and look to a road/track return. Many Thanks John |

Welcome John. I'll move it to Historics to see if they have any ideas. I like it BTW.

The name 'Iain Gorrie' rings a bell here.

Thanks Dan - it is in fact Mr Gorries old steed. I've just spoken with him and he's going to help fill in the blanks etc...
Great to talk to him and hoping to get to Mallory July 20th as he's racing there. Could a mod alter the title to read GT6 - ex Iain Gorrie - for me please. Thanks again, apologies for putting original post in the wrong place John |

Title changed, as requested. I'm just wondering whether this might be better in Motorsport History if you are asking about its past. On the otherhand if you are about to tell us what is going to happen to it in the future, maybe we'll leave it here.

I've been racing a GT6 for 11 years now and owned one a further 10 years before that but have not encountered this before - however! I showed this thread to a fellow racer who has been involved in Triumph racing since the early '80's and he believes this car was owned by someone called Ross Matthew from Dunstable. Reckons the car was in Ross' garden for some years in early '80's.
Does anyone know whatever happened to the Windmill Plastics modsports GT6? Good luck with the rebuild I look forward to seeing it recommissioned and out in the historic modsports series when it takes off. |

I'm doing some of the history, just for the fun of it - it will most certainly be rebuilt to (I hope) original spec. As for taking part in the championship, I've already sent off for the MSA pack and will need to see about how I'd arrange being back from Brussels every time! Won't be so simple.
I'll keep this thread updated as the work progresses. Looking to get it into the 'shed' end August. Iain confirmed the car - as he even knew where I'd bought it from! So don't think it's the Dunstable motor, Iain was certain this has led the whole of it's life in the North/North East area. Thanks for your input - will keep you updated. John |
