The bodies of Bradley Kit Cars were all made ​​of fiberglass and were two-seat coupe with gull-wing doors. The first model, the GT, was sold several thousand times and remained virtually unchanged from 1977 II end of the 1960s until the introduction of the GT. The GT II was a complex kit with higher production quality, its owners today but from the poor supply of GT- II - specific parts, such as the windshield, upholstery and various fiberglass parts suffer. The first GT had significantly more parts of large-scale vehicles, so that the supply of parts to this day is very good.
