I'm sure the guy that used to own this car also used to own my canam.

Was that Dom? I bought the car of a gentleman called Nick, our Berkshire way. I believe though that this was one of Dom's old GTRs

Thanks for all the kind words, she's been a labour of love. Few more mods planned over the winter, including modernising the interior a bit.

I wasn't thinking of Dom, maybe it was a different green GTR.

There is lots you can do to make the stock interior much more modern, I actually fitted Noble seats in my canam and had a stack dash different buttons etc etc... Ive now got a noble and have removed the seats and made my own lol, I guess you must know how 'max power' the noble interior feels as std and needs changing for a different reason to the Ult

Wow that looks amazing!!! The colour really suits it

Can we see a cabin & engine shot

Its a lovely car and the engine sound matches the car which is always a good thing as well. The colour is a definite improvement (that hurt to say)

Now if only the driver matched the car it would be complete

Wow! That is lovely.
Any interior pictures?

I managed to escape some of the Max Power image in my M12 by replacing the steering wheel with a nice suede unit and satin blacking a number of interior items. But know exactly what you mean!

You're too kind James, too kind!

That's just awesome.

I'd love an Ultima but what are they like for room? (I'm 6' 2'' and a bit of a lump) Anyway, off to check classifieds and have a bit of a day dream. Could I get one with BMW V8 or V10 power?

There are tall people than you that have had ultimas for years and years.... there was a lowered floor pan option, I had a friend who retro fitted this as well... there are ultimo out there with BMW V10's, V12's and V8's.... rare for them to come up for sale.
I do know of an unfinished V10 GTR thats not been worked of for quite a few years.

I'd definitely be keen to find out more. I imagine that's a chassis and engine combination that's pretty spectacular.

Such a bold colour choice and also being metallic it totally stands out from the flat colours normally associated. Love it.

My build is aimed at the taller driver; opted for the lowered floor pan and the pedal box extended 80mm than a standard chassis. Get's a little tight for the master cylinders but once they're in its fine. The Factory were more than happy to accommodate!

This is a long shot (and a serous bit of thread revival) but can the OP confirm the colour and code on this car please. This is the exact shade I want to go with on my bmw project

My favourite Ultima by a country mile!
