PERFORMANCE

INSPIRED BY A 60'S ICON...

The GDMk3 is an uncompromisingly modern sports car suited perfectly to a European landscape of narrow, winding roads and tracks where handling is pre-eminent over straight line speed, the latter comes easy!

Originally designed in 1986, the GD427 was engineered to provide a remarkably stiffer and lighter structure compared to traditional ‘ladder’ chassis, delivering superior build standards for DIY enthusiasts. 

This groundbreaking design not only allows for lower wheel frequencies and more compliant suspension but also enhances balance with a centrally located mass and a lower center of gravity, resulting in impeccable poise and balance through corners.

To date, the GD427 design has remained much the same demonstrating its unwavering capability and forward thinking design.

Depending on final detail fitments the GD Mk3 can be every bit the classic sports car or take on a more contemporary appearance, whichever you prefer, it is the underpinnings that make the GDMk3 so indulgent and rewarding to drive!

The driving experience is elevated to new heights, offering smooth and comfortable long-distance touring while delivering sharp, predictable handling and improved traction when pushed to its limits. 

The GD427 breaks tradition by offering a driving experience that is unparalleled.

The GDMk3 is available as a factory built car ready to drive away, or supplied in component form for self assembly. 

Prices are available to suit most budgets. 

All factory cars are built to order to individual customer preferences. 

For self build projects a full breakdown component pricelist is available on request.

  • Developed for road and track use, the backbone design cloaks the power train and accurately locates the suspension for excellent power delivery with positive and precise control. Designed for huge V8 power, the chassis always feel taut and responsive when pushed to the limits. 

  • Quite unlike conventional body shells the GD body shell is a one-piece rigid semi-monocoque (tub) design with double skin mouldings. A composite construction made of glass fibre reinforced plastic with critical areas strengthened with advanced woven glass materials.

    The tub rigidity is enhanced with front and rear bulkheads, engine bay, foot-wells, transmission tunnel and all inner mouldings as an integral part of the structure. Further occupancy protection is gained by injecting energy absorbing polyurethane foam into the body sides and the use of sliding anti-intrusion beams within the doors.

    The body tub is insulated from the chassis with anti-vibration mounts adding further comfort and longevity.

  • The chassis features independent double wishbone suspension with aircraft grade alloy uprights. Compared to  suspension offers lighter unsprung weight and provides better  camber control with adjustment forstatic camber, caster and toe-in settings. The suspension design gives the GD unrivalled levels of road holding and ride quality.

  • Alloy bodied shock absorbers are fitted with coil springs rated for intend use. The units are adjustable for damping resistance and ride height changes.

  • The GM Gen3/4 LS range of V8 engines have been installed in Gardner Douglas cars since 2001. We regard them as the best choice for power/weight with smooth drivability and offer better fuel economy, reliability and lower service costs. Today’s standard fitment is the 6.2Ltr GMLS3.

  • Full stainless steel exhaust with high flow cats available as underslung rear exit or side exit.  

    Optional ceramic coatings.

  • Tremec TKO 600 close ratio 5 speed or T56 and Magnum 6 speed

  • Speed sensitive limited slip differential provides awesome traction and neutral handling.

  • Brakes are dual circuit with ventilated discs as standard with AP racing 4 pot front calipers.

  • Wheels are offered in several sizes to suit preferred aesthetics and driving style. Typically 8x18 front and 9x18 rear.

  • Example: Michilen pilot Supersport 225/40/18 F, 245/40/18 R tyres offer good all round performance.

    Optional track day compounds.

  • An optional quick rack is available.

  • Stainless steel construction. For safety the fuel tank is mounted between the rear axles.

    The upright design serves to minimise fuel surge.

  • Wheelbase: 2286mm (90″)

    Length:3940mm

    Width: 1750mm

    Height: 1100mm

  • Lighter and stiffer than the original cars makes the Mk3 more agile and far quicker.

  • Based on GM LS3

  • 0-60mph 3.5 secs, top speed 150+mph
