The Gozzy SS wasn't Japanese at all.  It was commissioned by a Japanese clothing company owner, but fully engineering and built in England by Church Green Engineering.  The first Gozzy SS was presented at the 1978 Geneva Motor Show, with a total of 10 examples being built before Church Green Engineering ceased production in 1983.

Thank you very much for this information, which was new for me.

I have changed the title.

Just today I found a Gozzy portfolio at our local flea market...

[len terry curator]

have you still got that Gozzy portfolio?
Len Terry designed the Gozzy for Church Green.
He also designed racing cars for them.
I was fortunate enough to have raced some of Len's cars from 1982 - 2004.
i was also very privileged to have been his friend until his death in 2014.
i am the curator of his drawings and of course there are ALL the production
drawings for the Gozzy (several models).
i would dearly like to find one of the cars/owners, if anybody can help please get back to me
thanks
