Condor GT - plea for info!

Hi all,

My attention has been brought to a Condor GT for sale. The ad states it is a one off from 1969 (presumably the same Condor that made a formula junior in the very early sixties?) and comes with a letter of authenticity from the builder.

I know its rude of me to do so, but before I pester the seller does anybody have a photo of the car or a suitable link? (looks are important to me!)

FYI I assume it is a true GT of the Diva/Chevron type as the ad states 'race car but would make a great road car' (sod that, if its intended as a race car thats what it would be used as!)

Weren't they advertised in Road & Track at the time?

Sorry, the whole thing is familiar to me, but I don't remember details.

Hmm, I've no idea! They obviously weren't a success though. I found a reference to Condor FJ cars in the A-Z of formula racing cars, but haven't found anything else despite much web trawling...

You need to find someone with the American mags of the era... Sports Car Graphic, Road & Track and Car & Driver...

Maybe check out Dennis David's website, or get in touch with Dennis and Don Capps... or Mike Argetsinger, he's a likely one. There's the Watkins Glen museum, too...

Do you have a URL for Dennis David's site? Sorry, I don't know it.

Hmmm... neither do I... email him at me@ddavid.com or send a personal message to Don Capps ('Corktree') on this system...
