G.C.S. Cars was a British manufacturer based in Orpington, Kent, known for producing kit cars. The company primarily focused on the G.C.S. Hawke model, which drew inspiration from the design of the Morgan sports car.
The G.C.S. Hawke featured a wider body than the Morgan, attributed to its use of a Ford Cortina front subframe and rear axle. This design choice not only enhanced the car's spaciousness but also contributed to its purposeful appearance. The vehicle was constructed on a steel ladder frame chassis, with the main body tub, wings, nose cone, and doors made from fiberglass. Customers had the option to choose between a fiberglass or aluminum bonnet.
In addition to its standard features, the G.C.S. Hawke offered optional multilink rear suspension, a 2+2 version for increased passenger capacity, and a chassis designed to accommodate Rover V8 engines and Ford Sierra suspension components. This flexibility allowed for a degree of customization, appealing to enthusiasts looking for a unique driving experience.
