Another visit to Southern GT's today, and another chassis under construction, this one manufactured to take a Renault transaxle.
Note the built in rollcage! | |

Watch out for the Southern GT's website which will be coming soon!
They make many of their own parts, as well as being able to source alot of other components.
Hope you all like the pics so far, I will do my best to keep you all posted on their progress.

Hi Bud
In your first photo, is that the RBT-6 transaxle, or are they rebadging recond ZF 5 speeds?
If it is the RBT-6, please take another few pics from different angles if you get the chance.
Many thanks | |

From what I recall (speaking to them at Goodwood in August), it is a new 25-2 that came from RBT via JP. | |

Thanks John. I was hoping to see an RBT-6 going into a 40.
The spaceframe looks very neat and strong from Bud's pics, with good attention to detail.
I'm looking more information as it filters out. | |

That is a very sweet looking frame. Now, are there any pictures with a body added?

I have been asked by Mick from Southern GT's to post a few pics for him as he is having a spot of bother with his downloading of pics at the moment.
