Grand Prix Metalcraft of North London

[apexster]

Interested in any information, contacts or leads regarding Grand Prix Metalcraft which was located in or around the north London area in the 1960's and 1970's. Thought to be a constructor/fabricator of race car chassis/bodywork and perhaps competition motorcycles as well.

Thanks...

Is this (http://www.genesismotorsports.com/grand_prix.shtml) the same company, relocated?

Wrong company fausto sorry. When I worked for Roger Nathan at Fortis Green Road garage (also housed David Piper Racing and Paul Hawkins Racing and others) the two brothers and a mate who were ex-Aston Martin fabricators working for Nathans. They set up shop themselves in a adjacent lock ups in the same building, I even designed their logo and painted a huge mural on their roller shutter doors but the standing joke was I drew a GT40 going under a Dunlop Bridge instead of a Grand Prix car (well I just loved those Paul Hawkins Gulf GT40's so i would would'nt I ) Anyhow the lads liked it and kept he logo for many years as I used to see it in ads in MNews and Autosport.

I have PMed you Apexter.

I used to pickup from GPMC back in the mid/latter 70s. Think they ceased trading around 1991.

Here is an old article on them from Motor Sport Magazine.
