I've owned a 450bhp GT2 before.. but I certainly believe the rumours that the Ford GT has 600bhp - it's like a steam train.. pulling and pulling. Heck 3rd gear is good for 130mph.

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.

Did you allow Tom Hartley to use your photo's as they are using them on their site to advertise their GT?

Tom Hartley now owns the car..

I have to go and find another now !!

(and no, I didn't make £100,000 profit)

you had one of the most desirable cars in the world i would never sell it if i owned one not even for a huge profit


Interesting views.. It's pretty gutting to see it go, after all this waiting and lusting after it (and the hassle of personally importing it) But if you had the chance to make some money on a car, and had the opportunity to buy an identical one from somewhere else the next day for less than you paid for your first one, what would you do ? You'd be a liar if you said you wouldn't do the same. Bear in mind, my goal all along is to own and keep one. Expect to see Ford GT #2 in the coming weeks/month - because they are stonking, astounding cars.

Does the beg the question, what on earth was the point of this thread


I posted the thread before the car was sold.

So I assume you already had a buyer lined up before it arrived in the UK


Nope.
