Pimpster Feature Shoot

Concept 37...

We've been waiting what seems like an eternity to bring you this feature! Pimpster have known about this car for a long time but it was only recently that Dexter, top man at GP Speed, felt the car was sufficiently complete to be photographed. GP Speed's attention to detail is such that they don't like anything to leave their workshop unless it is 100% perfect.

There's an interesting story behind the creation of this car which is best told by Dexter himself:

"The car was originally a project between Tony Crew and Vauxhall, with a Calibra roof sitting on an Omega Chassis and running gear with custom body panels in a 1937 retro style, hence the cars nickname: The Concept 37...

"When built it was code named the Apollo, pretty apt as Apollo’s chariot was pulled by two griffins, and the griffin being the logo of Vauxhall and the car being built from two Vauxhall cars!

"The car now has shaved suicide doors with pod mounted screens and a new leather interior in burgundy and cream. The whole car will be re trimmed and repainted for 2008. The suspension is Koni adjustable coilovers with 20” BBS wheels giving exceptional cornering for such a large and heavy car. "Rear wheel drive and currently powered by a 3.0 litre V6 super chipped engine with auto box, though this is soon going to be replaced by the favourite 5.7 litre Chevy lump for 2008. Mini headlights on the front will be replaced by frenched lights to match the frenched lights at the rear. "The sound and video system is sponsored by Mutant, with some updated equipment going in for Donny South as the car will be on their stand." So that's the story of the Concept 37 and we're pleased to be able to finally bring you this feature, though we're sure you'll agree it's been well worth the wait. We'll be at Donny South to see the Concept with its new Mutant equipment and can't wait to see the planned changes for 2008.
