Autotune Gemini

Hi

Any Autotune Geminis out there for sale please? Complete cars/project vehicles. Would prefer an old Q plate car in need of a rebuild but still complete.

Cheers
Mike

Hi Tim

Many thanks

Something like:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Autotune-Gemini-1600cc-SVA-and-correctly-registered-No-Reserve/132069949236?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3 D1%26asc%3D50545%26meid%3D987728e01373439cad0474086d3095ae%26pid%3D100013%26rk%3D8%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D371694179399%26itm%3D132069949236&_trksid=p20 47675.c100013.m1986

would be good.

There was a Rover V8 powered one for sale a while back that looked tempting.

How is your build going?

Cheers
Mike

Hi Mike,

Build is going okay thanks - finishing touches and professional set-up is all that’s left.

I’ll let you know if I spot anything.

Good luck! It took me a while to track down my Gemini. Since I bought it a couple of years ago I've kept an eye on the market but very rarely see them come up.

As one project finished on eBay another was listed - couple of days to go.

Gemini

I should have bought the Alfa engined project that came up moons ago - did that ever get finished?

No idea if it sold but it needed a lot of work for that money.

Autotune Gemini Possibly for sale soon

I have been storing an Autotune Gemini for nearly 20 years in my workshop. Dry stored on stands after complete respray. This winter once I have contacted the owner (Abroad) I will be taking the body off, and checking all mechanicals, and getting an MOT on it. The current car has a mark 2 escort dash fitted but I have a complete set of smiths gauges/instruments and warning lights from a vintage triumph to fit.

Depending on what the owner wants the car may be sold prior to the work.

Please let me know if anyone would be interested in the car before or after the work.

The car is on an R plate and not a Q plate.

I have to make way for a TR7 V8 restoration in the new year.

HI,

It's a 1.6 escort engine with a 4 speed gearbox, I am waiting for the owner to get in touch, but I think it was correctly registered as a gemini.

A bare Gemini chassis has popped up: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Autotune-Gemini-Kit-Car-Chassis-new-unused-c-w-wishbones-and-5-link-rear/173597311493?hash=item286b34c205:g:d2IAAOSwMsJbn9c 8

Pity I did not buy the cheap secondhand body that was for sale in the West Mids a few years ago!

Checked with Autotune and they still sell the kit and in modular form, so a new body can be bought (approx £2k, extra for flip front option).

Cheers
Mike

The ad’s a bit misleading as the engine is being offered for sale elsewhere separately?

Gemini For Sale

Yes I have finally relisted the car. Later today I will take photographs for eBay showing that there should be everything required to put the exterior items back on the car.

On the V5 its Date of first registration is 06 04 1977 so does this make it MOT and Tax exempt?

Thank you

Lyndon

I though about picking-up the chassis as a spare but that would be a level of catastrophe that I couldn’t contemplate.

My latest news - from last weekend - is here:


I’m due to be on track on Tuesday.

I`ve been trying to locate a Gemini I built many years ago. The reg was PUK...R it was british racing green with a Fiat 1800 twin cam and 5 spd gearbox with minilite wheels and aero screens. Love to know if it is still around, it had a galvanised chassis so won`t have rusted away.

A number of the older cars have gone overseas. It could be that yours is one of them.

Hi Mike,

My car is semi-prepared for IVA. I got let down by a local fabricator (I need a new manifold to meet the catalysts) and life has since trumped garage time. Hopefully I’ll get it sorted before the year is out and IVA complete before spring. It has been a long list already - a new inspector-friendly dash, handbrake fitting, passenger seat, the ugliest front lights in the world etc etc.

A friend is sat on an unstarted Gemini kit….
