Any thoughts as to how easy this might be to get through IVA?

Can't see any particular problems. Things to prepare for would be brake balance, handbrake operation, radiusing inside and out.

Doesn't seem to be a price on it?

Surely if it is a mini chassis and mini running gear then it is still a mini with a bodykit?

Note that the car shown is not the GTM in question!!!
The picture shows an early Cox GTM owned by a member on the GTM Owners Club forum.

'fraid not - the GTM uses a purpose built steel monocoque chassis with a grp body.

Just as an aside - I have two GTM's, a 1967 Cox GTM and a 1971 GTM Coupe.

So generally there is a lot of dubious bits in this ad. That coupled with it in storage for 17 years.... Makes it a steer clear in my book.

It does indeed use mini subframes front and rear, but subframes are not chassis.

If it's been properly stored it should still be OK. A lot depends on the price, I haven't seen that yet.
