Body
The body of the CAV GT is made from vinyl ester resin which is stronger and more stable than
polyester resins. Each body is individually set up on its own chassis. The bodies are hand shaped in a painstaking pre-spraying process.
The body is available in standard form or with the wide rear fender flares. Other body options include single or twin nostril, and Gurney bubble. Front and rear
windscreens are OE E spec shatterproof and Armour plate glass respectively. Side window and headlight covers are made from aircraft quality polycarbonate.
