Why not just say who it was ?, otherwise it just sounds like a sales pitch.

Some pictures of one I saw on the way to the FOS a few years ago and two which I sold. Any excuse to post the pics!

I wonder how many are actually left now? If you look at www.wreckedexotics.com/carreragt, it wouldn't be hard to say that they've dipped below 1,000...

Not too keen on this. ^^

My all time favourite would be Mike Rob's Cobalt Blue car, followed by any of the Basalt Black ones.

And from what I recall part of that 100 mile trip involved a stop off at homebase, according to the receipt I found under the drivers seat!

Vince980, congratulations on the purchase its a stunning car, and I have been privileged to drive it during shadows owner ship, but my god that clutch is hard to master!

Thing of beauty. Last of the proper supercars. It even has the engine where it should be (and what an engine!).

Nicely done sir.

Well it must have been you then

I live in a village in East Sussex on the 272 and often go out towards Goodwood on it in either my orange exige (weekend warrior) or her new 981s with some of my friends in GTRs or Maccas. If I flash then you know who it was !

IMHO THE single best driving experience . A CGT on track in full fury is unmatched in my books . Other cars ( f40 etc ) provide same kind of raw feel but they are not quite as indestructible . One of mans premier engineering triumphs and you know there will never be its kind again .
32000 miles in CGT's now . Ill be buried in mine , burning ( VICKING STYLEE !!!!)
Just look at the passengers face
