Beautiful car - IMO even better than the original GT40, its much better proportioned!

You don't have to ship it back for a service do you?!

-- "I suspect we won't be hearing from the gentleman concerned until all fuel stations within an hours drive are dry... "

Rumours of it's thirstiness are greatly exaggerated.. on the way back from Prestwick (300 mile journey) I averaged 15-20mpg - which included some spirited bursts.

Well done. Whata fantastic car. I'm not normally a fan of mid-engined cars but the GT and Muira are exceptions.
Abso--lutely beautiful!!!

And I disagree with Clarkson, this is very much a "cool wall" car. Just cos he's not cool doesn;t make the car uncool.

He did'nt it was purchased in the States and is a personal import. The thing with GT's in this country is that we are only getting 100 or so official cars and Ford are being picky about who gets them.
