PICS. A specialist British car from Matrix

This one's the 1960 Gordon Keeble GT, the prototype. Production didn't get underway until 1964, continuing until 1967. Around 100 examples were built of which around 90 survive. The Matrix model is up to the usual standard with lots of detail.

IMO, very 'Ferrariesque' looking. A very handsome car and model.

My friend here in Mississippi owns a silver Gordon Keeble.

I have driven the car and it's Corvette drive train makes it a thrill to drive.

That might have been down to fact that the designer was Italian, although as far as I'm aware, he didn't design Ferraris, but I suppose he could have been influenced by them.

Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro and built by Bertone!

Excellent model, I have it and I really like it...

I think I posted photos of mine some months back when I purchased it. Matrix did a really good job on the GK. Congratulations.
