    Gantspeed, any idea what happened?

    Dear members,

    some years ago I acquired a race car, 911 2.4S ölklappe, to have some fun around the track, the car was sold to me as being the car Vanina Ickx (Jacky Ickx's daughter) drove on the 2002 edition of the Le Mans Classic. the car looked amazing so I bought it on the spot! fast forward a couple of years, I'm looking for some information about the car, for potentially selling it, and contact Maxted Page (MP), who organized the sale of the car to the previous owner, and in MPs description I see that the car has been converted to a 2.7 RS; now I understood how and why the car was so much faster than the other 911s. Anyway, I tried to find more information on who did the modification and found a lot of invoices from Gantspeed, hence I tried calling them to know more, unfortunately, the number appearing online does not work; nor does the website. I was wondering if anyone has met Robert Gant, or could put me in touch with him.

    Kindest regards.

    …. years ago I used to occasionally pop in to Gantspeed when driving across country on my fortnightly trip from Hethel to the Lotus styling studio in the midlands before we consolidated a new-build styling and design in Hethel.

    Not sure what the status of Gantspeed’s business is these days but try this:

    Chapel Lane Mareham-le-Fen Boston Lincolnshire PE22 7PZ. Tel: 01507 568474. Email: no email. Website: https://www.gantspeed.co.uk/.
