Great to see Derek Hambly at both of this year’s kit car shows with his lovely little Primo Coupe. Yes, I know it looks like a COX GTM aka GTM COUPÉ but technically Derek’s car is the later SVA-compliant version (re-sited headlights among the changes) by Primo Designs run by the late Peter Leslie

Derek acquired the project in 2015 and has worked continuously to make a variety of tweaks and can now supply the Hambly Coupe in kit form as well as offer replacement parts and machining services to existing Cox GTM owners.

For example, when it comes to floorplans he can offer his own version for 13in wheels at £1645, the Heerey-style 10in version with a rear spaceframe section at £1865 and a very early Cox-style pan again for 10in wheels at £1985.

When it comes to GRP panels everything is available from Derek including centre tub (£625), bonnet (£660), a pair of doors (£175) and rear bumper (£90), plus every other panel you could think of.

Derek can machine front suspension cones, cut and machine front CV joints, machined rear brake backplates to fit the rear. Also, one-off machining and fabrication work is available. He can machine most other items of a GTM nature that you will need.

He’s recently upgraded the engine choice from A-Series to Ford Zetec SE (Sigma) which can be picked up for as little as £200 on eBay although the more powerful Fiesta-spec ST150 unit which can be found from around £400. Hambly also uses the ID5 gearbox which bolts straight on and these two can be found from £400.
