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.
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.
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
This sounds interesting. What engine and gearbox does it have in it please? What is it registered on the V5 as? Where is the car located?

Howard Wilkinson has one with a V8 in it You may be able to contact him through his son who owns Ski Switzerland, on Facebook.....Don't know
whether it is road legal but has an MSA logbook
I am struggling to upload the photos of the Gemini in storage. Anyone interested in seeing them please send me an email lyndon@lizard-net.co.uk and i
will send them to you.
I have finally advertised the Gemini on eBay with item number 202555837307. As stated in the advert I have just sent off the V5 to get the owner
details changed, and car will be sold with the new V5.
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?
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.
Any Autotune Gemini chat - new projects, progress with existing projects? Tim C how is your car?
Cheers
Mike
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.
