STAMFORD, UK — 7 July 2026 — GTM Cars, the legendary British mid-engined car marque, has been officially acquired by specialist automotive builder Winterton Bros Speed Shop Ltd.
The historic brand has been rescued from the liquidation of Westfield Chesil Ltd. The acquisition secures all brand rights, intellectual property, styling moulds, and manufacturing jigs for the recent GTM models—including the famous Libra, Spyder, and Ballista.
This purchase signals a dual commitment to the kit car community: supplying much-needed legacy replacement components to the active GTM family while engineering a new generation of up to date, agile, and attractive sports cars.
Winterton Bros Speed Shop Ltd, highly regarded for their bespoke engineering projects and custom EV vehicle conversions, plans to revitalise the GTM brand by blending its classic lightweight British heritage with cutting-edge engineering.
Max Winterton, director at Winterton Bros says: "GTM Cars represents a brilliant chapter in British automotive and specialist engineering history. We are thrilled to bring this historic marque under our roof. Our initial focus is supporting existing owners with high-quality spares, but we are also mapping out an exciting future that aligns GTM's lightweight, driver-focused DNA with modern performance capabilities."
Initial manufacturing and parts support operations will be integrated into Winterton Bros’ workshop facilities. A dedicated digital portal for GTM parts requests and restoration project logs is scheduled to go live later this year.
