What happens when you breed and Opel GT:  with a Corvette mk3  (well ok they aren't anything to do with it really just think they are styled on it) throw in some gullwings and you get:   check out the perspex gullwings!!   green one  have a gold one as well   yellow on slots  and electric one on turbo vecs....  Ladies and Gentlemen i give you: The VW Bradley GT www.sunsetclassics.com/1978-vw-bradley/anyone know any more about it?!?!  |

I have never had one but I have seen dozens of the things in person. I remember them in parking lots in the early 80's, and I saw them all the time in VW car shows. www.roaring-20s.org/bradley/The GT is shockingly ugly in person. It exudes the quality of a snap-fit model. The GT II on the other hand is quite handsome and I would quite like to see one done up with larger wheels and a modern stance.  I take it these kits werent sold in the UK? |

Remember the days when sex was safe and motorsport was dangerous. Vintage bling always attracts pussy. |

Interesting! Looks like a beetle based fibreglass kit car to me, you can get all manner of kits to build on bugs! They are definitely vw aircooled so probably epicly slow!

I think these have loads of potential. Lots would need to be done to correct the stance and lose the "bathtub" look of them, but I think under all that ugly is a stunner. ;D
