Bailey T70 Spyder
The Spyder project was borne as a one off for a special customer of Bailey Cars. We are now able to offer customers this unique car in a limited number only. The Bailey T70 Spyder is based on the brilliant Bailey version 2 GT40. Although It is 100kg’s lighter at 950kgs and so should give all the other Bailey Models a hard time on the racetrack.
