Gordon GT
Gordon Keeble
A British luxury GT with American power and Italian styling
The Gordon-Keeble came about when John Gordon and Jim Keeble got together in 1959 to make the Gordon GT car - initially by fitting a Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine into a chassis by Peerless - for a USAF pilot named Nielsen.

The concept proved impressive, and subsequently a 4.6 litre Chevrolet (283 c.i.) V8 was fitted into a specially-designed square-tube steel spaceframe chassis, with independent front suspension and all-round disc brakes. The complete chassis was then taken to Turin, Italy, where Bertone built a body made of steel panels, designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro.
