Bradley GT "Gullwing" Coupe 1.6L - 1977

The GT was the first model to be sold under the name Bradley Automotive. The development of the car was extremely informal. The body of the GT was a two-seater coupé with low curved sides and no doors. Protection from the weather was provided by two frameless plastic panels that extended into the roof and opened as gullwing doors. Hidden headlights were mounted under two large opaque covers. The body was constructed from fiberglass and designed to be mounted on an unchanged chassis of a Volkswagen Beetle. The GT thus inherited its 2,400 mm wheelbase from the donor vehicle, while the front and rear suspension could vary depending on the builder's choice of wheels and tyres. The suspension front and rear was via the transverse torsion bar and the trailing arms of the VW. The standard powertrain was also the air-cooled four-cylinder boxer engine and the four-speed manual transmission with pendle axle. Some GTs replaced their hidden headlights with fixed headlights under transparent covers. Bradley offered the rear window in three variants; a short triangular piece, a longer fastback piece that extended to the base of the rear spoiler, or an extended estate rear cover. The power or even the type of engine could also vary greatly. Extra note: Ugly spot on right plexiglass door (see photos).
