Given that it’s the 60th Anniversary of the Unipower GT, its reasonable to perhaps celebrate the very first Unipower GT both ordered, built and delivered. Chassis 766.2 after initial development at the U.P.D Factory Whilst the full story of chassis 766.2 is recounted in my book on the marque, it is appropriate at this time to give this unique car a series of Blog posts to commemorate its history and that after 60-years it is still very much alive and well and in period condit

Many of you will have been following on these Blog pages, Guy's restoration of the car he bought back in 2020 and its journey to being the very best example of the marque on the road today. It has taken a huge comittment from Guy, many heartbreaks along the way due to previous repairs and poor 'restoration', but now it has eventually reached its conclusion and has been driven !. The objective was always to restore the car to the same condition as it would have left the factor

Kelly Wittenauer in 'Tweety', chassis 768.42 at the Gingerman Raceway Sunday morning Group E heat race at the VSCDA's Spring Brake event at Gingerman Raceway in the USA, located near South Haven in southwest Michigan. Built in 1995, the track is 2.14 miles long. This was also the first time she had used an on-board camera in 'Tweety', as Kelly has nicknamed her 1968 Unipower GT for which she would like to thanks Bill Stevens, for awarding her a Road Keeper HD camera at last

Firstly my apologies to all for the late publication of the results of Unipower Team Denmark’s participation at the Viborg Classic last weekend, due to my having been away from my computer all this week. So it was that the weekend of the 23rd/24th May saw the return of chassis UWF1012 to the race track at the Viborg Classic as reported in the last Blog on the Unipower GT Owners Club website. The cumulation of a huge effort by Christian and his team at Cavazzi Racing, who are

Those of you who have been following the rebuild of chassis UWF1012 (LTM80G) following its unfortunate serious accident at the last Viborg Classic race in Denmark back in May 2025, will have seen just how much work was necessary to return this well known car to race ready condition again. Accident damage sustained in last years Viborg Classic race The decision to obtain 'used' front body panels instead of having new ones made, saved considerable cost and in some ways, time as

As revealed in my last Blog post on John's exciting project to convert his LHD Unipower GT road car acquisition to a race car specification, here are just a couple more photographs, which provide a broader image of how the car is being transformed. Latest improvements involve the addition of a front Sway Bar (Anti-roll bar) to aid its track handling. Further work is expected to take around another 6-months before being ready for testing. Great work John and thanks again for t

Some time again in May 2018, John from Kentucky USA, purchased a road version of the Unipower GT from the estate of the late Dennis Tarkir to complement the other well known customer Competition version that his wife Kelly has been successfully racing for a few years now. Kelly's customer Competition version 'Tweety' Dennis had owned the car for 47-years !!, covering over 40,000 miles during this time before corrosion in the lower chassis rails brought about some restoration.

The Club have been exhibiting at principally the National Classic Car Shows since the late 70's starting way back at Alexandra Palace. Since then we had attended the Show every year but as time went by, careers and commitments extended the time between Shows. Over the last few years, exhibiting has increased again to every or alternate years, the last being in 2025 at the NEC Classic Motor Show as it is now known. The flashback photo is from 1981 and our Stand at the Brighton

An early 1969 UWF/Unipower Cars chassis has suddenly come up for sale after 50-years of ownership. Check out the Cars For Sale section on this website for more details.

Back in June 2024, yes that long ago, I reported on this Bog that following Nick's passing after owning for over 49-years, his car had been bought by Simon from Kent. To be fair, not much has happened since then other than that the car is being kept in a dry environment, which is all important for cars of this vintage. A overview of what is required to be carried out on the car to return it to the road has been completed and Simon, with the help of the myself, has obtained a

Following on from the race crash last year, the chassis had taken a big hit and the decision was taken to graft on some old bodywork rather than try to repair the original or even mould some new panels which would have added to the repair time. Lots to do as you can see, but the Team have tremendous enthusiasm to complete the work need to get back onto the race track again. Whilst it looks like there is only the need to just reassemble the car, it will be necessary to assembl

Twenty-one years after this Unipower GT (967.25) was built, it would be racing at the Mid-Ohio circuit near to Lexington in the hands of its owner Jeff Lumbard, seen here exiting Turn 2. (Photo curtesy of D.G.F. Sickler) Thirty-Seven years ago now !, but given that we've just celebrated the Marque's 60th Anniversary, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. Whilst this car has been laid up now since 2019, it is so encouraging is that there are still a few Unipower GT's still racin

Graham Clark from VFS Videos has just sent me the following video interview that he made during the Show with myself and Gerry Wheeler who used to build these very special cars. I trust you will enjoy the short video. Gerry Hulford

Our 60th Anniversary Celebration went superbly at the annual Classic Motor Show following our participation last year. In addition to my Ex-Works Race Car, the other two superb examples on display were very kindly provided by Mark Glaisher and Guy Monty. Mark has owned his 1967 LHD version since 2010 and is fitted with a 1275 'S; engine & gearbox, He and his car were a participant in the Cartier Concours at a recent Goodwood Festival of Speed and he uses the car on a regular

Today was Setup Day at the Classic Motor Show, a Classic Car Show which the Club has attended for many years, since supporting the very first Show back in the 1970's. Mark, Guy and myself have brought along three exceptional examples of the marque to display to the thousands of visitors to the Show over the next three days. We are lucky to have a LHD and RHD road car version from both Mk1 and Mk2 versions as well as the first Competition version built that was entered and rac

Considerable progress is being made on the crashed chassis, however the damage has unearthed some potentially disastrous chassis failures, unrelated to the accident, but a consequence of age and lack of inspection and remedial work as can be seen in the following pictures. The cracks where a number of chassis tubes junction, are in one case most likely just that the chassis is now 56-years old and its previous ownership history has shown that it has not been stored in the bes

Yes this mega rebuild is nearing completion , the results of Guy's endeavours and his commitment to a homage to his late father Geoff's personal Unipower GT, the last to leave the factory complete and which he sold to me in 1976, will be proudly on display at the NEC Classic Motor Show this coming weekend on stand 3-160 in Hall 3.
