An American, John de Bruyne, bought the rights to the Gordon-Keeble and, in 1968, took space at the new York Motor Show. On the stand were two re-badged Gordon-Keebles and a new-mid-engined Coupé which had a 5.7 Chevrolet engine, a five-speed transaxle, and a claimed top speed of 180 mph / 290 kmh.
