1976 Bradley GT 1600

- 1.6-litre boxer engine and 4-speed manual gearbox
- An excellent restoration project
The Attractions
If you want a car that embodies all the eccentricity of the 1970s, the Bradley GT is certainly one of the most original. With its curvaceous lines, dynamic silhouette and unmistakable gull-wing doors, this kit car takes us back to a time when the automotive industry wanted to impress and offered innovative, avant-garde styling.
The Bradley GT was the brainchild: at a time when sports cars were becoming increasingly popular, it offered a unique aesthetic while being easy to handle and relatively inexpensive.
Based on the Beetle and with a lightweight fibreglass body, it was an irresistible proposition. Bold, flashy, adorably excessive, in perfect American style. Today it is extremely rare, and enthusiasts lose control when they see one. For all these reasons, we are certain that this example will attract a lot of attention.
This car looks particularly attractive, with its vibrant green colour scheme and red interior. It appears to be in good overall condition and only requires some attention to the mechanics to get it back on the road.
