Description
A very rare occurance a GTM Libra for sale and one in excellent condition at that! – This is car no. 40 and has never been painted. Lovely to see a car in the original manufacturers gel coat.
The speedo displays 50066 miles and the car was registered with the DVLA in 2000.
This GTM has the super rare option of Sabelt racing seats. Sabelt stopped making this seat mid Libra production run and therefore you won’t see many cars with these seats. This is a factory built Libra not an amateur build.
They are a great little sports car that are at home on the road and the track – they are a hoot to drive and you will love the keen handling and fantastic power to weight ratio. This car is ready to enjoy straight away and has an MOT till the 7th of July 2021 after receiving a new O2 sensor and cat.
This car has a PG1 gearbox from an MGF VVC so the revs at cruising speed are more relaxed, also the cable gearchange is much improved over the rod arrangement which the majority of Libras have.
The private plate is included and a nice addition.
Some additional info on the Libra in general.....
Conceived as a lightweight sportscar, the Libra uses no subframes for its suspension with all the mountings being bolted straight to the GRP monocoque tub. At the front it uses unequal length wishbones of GTM design locating uprights from the Rover Metro/ 100 range and a forward mounted steering rack for extra legroom. The rear suspension is an unusual double trailing arm design, bolted to the rear bulkhead and using the same uprights as the front. The engine/ transmission unit is held in a frame hanging off the rear bulkhead, a frame which also locates the rear hinging engine cover which incorporates a sizeable boot which can accommodate a full size set of golf clubs. The front ‘clamshell’ conceals the radiator, battery, master cylinders etc. and also manages to stow a full size 16" spare wheel. A removable roof panel can be stowed behind the seats for an open top experience.
Around 140 Libras are believed to have been produced.
