The Grantura bodyshell was made from glass- reinforced plastic and made use of a variety of proprietary components.

The bonnet was front hinged.

There was no opening at the rear but the boot could be accessed from inside the car - the spare wheel had to be removed through the front doors.

Buyers could choose from a range of powerplants which include a choice of side or overhead valve engines from Ford, a Coventry Climax unit or the MGA B-series engine.
