Kingdom Offshore Boating Association. Powell acquired the car project, providing financial backing and production facilities. Andrew Hedges, UPD's sales manager and former BMC works driver, was to handle sales of the new car. Production bodies were made by Specialised Mouldings Limited of Huntingdon, who lifted a mould from the aluminium-bodied buck made by Peel Brothers. Early bodies had a Coefficient of drag of 0.37. Production chassis were built by Arch Motors, who also fabricated some of the suspension components. The Unipower GT debuted at the London Racing Car Show in January 1966. UPD had planned to call the car the "Hustler GT", but the Hustler name was used for another UPD product. The car remained unnamed until just prior to the show, when Ian Smith, organizer of the 1966 Racing Car Show, suggested Unipower GT so that he would have something to put in the show catalogue. Initial pricing for the 998 cc Mini Cooper engine version was £950, while the 1275 cc Cooper S version was priced at £1150. Although promotional literature for the car did include pricing for it in component form, the GT was never intended to be sold as a kit car, and very few left the factory as anything other than complete cars. The few exceptions included cars for owners who planned to install customised powertrains. In a reference to the transverse mid-engined Lambourghini supercar that debuted one year earlier, the GT was dubbed the "Mini Miura" in the pages of Sport Auto magazine by racing driver and journalist José Rosinski. The GT appeared at the Racing Car Show again the next year, where it was photographed on its stand with model Monika Dietrich and racing driver Stirling Moss. After encountering some early problems with aerodynamic lift, the bodyshape was tested in the MIRA wind tunnel. A front spoiler was subsequently added to reduce lift. As a result of the MIRA test and changes, the coefficient of drag on later cars was reduced to 0.32. UWF By 1968 Powell and UPD had lost interest in the car. A planned targa version was cancelled. Unger partnered with Piers Weld-Forester, the grandson of the Marquis of Ormande and a Royal Courtier. These two formed a new company called U.W.F. Automative Engineering (UWF), that also traded under the name "Unipower Cars". UWF bought the car and assembly line from UPD and restarted production in Park Royal, West London.
