Gatso 4000 Aero Coupé

Quote:
Built on the Matford "13" chassis, lowered by five inches. 2+2 seater
A tuned 4 litre Mercury V8 engine providing the power. The general styling echoed the original Gatford, but additionally the Aero Coupé featured a sliding clear-plastic canopy reminiscent of a fighter aeroplane and in fact manufactured for Gatsonides by the Fokker aircraft company.
Performance : over 100 mph (160km/h), Economy : better than 20 mpg.

Introduced at the Geneva "Salon de l'Auto" in march 1948 and also showed at Holland's own first postwar RAI Motor Show in Amsterdam. From the United States came orders for no less than 200 cars. But this was impossible for Gatsonides, who hadn't really even the financial means with which to continue his business at its modest level.
