The Venturi story goes back to the 1984 Paris Motor Show where nestling in a corner under an unknown 'Godfroy' banner stood a beautiful coupe. The Ventury (with a 'y') featured a space-frame chassis with Peugeot 205 McPherson suspension, wrapped with a two-tone metallic grey glass-fibre body work. At the rear was a humble 120bhp VW Golf GTI engine. It went down a storm with press and public.
The Ventury was the brainchild of two passionate car designers Gérard Godfroy and Claude Poiraud. Both had been working with the major French car manufacturers and had become colleagues at Heuliez, the design company.
