The thing I dont get about all these mile records...is the fact so many people claim they have them, and all with different speeds lol

Guy bought 3 from James at Picadors with cash.
He never returned to collect the last one so it remained just preregistered to Picadors and in storage with them.
Eventually he took it away after Picadors wouldn't give him what he wanted for the car.
A year later it turned up at Brindley Vauxhall where the MD had been helping its owner export a car to his Bosche Service business in South Africa.
My main concern was the underside, believe me, its spotless under theresmile
Neil hope you get better soon mate, it's come at the wrong time that's for sure.
Great story behind it jez and nice purchase. I hope to join the old mans club again. I'm getting closer now as just touched 25 smile (no innuendo there for the sick minded hehe)

I nearly got a Conti GT, but this is a once in a million opportunity.
No mods just a gearbox remap ( want to talk to you about that so can you email me your number I think the one I have is an old one) plus possibly underseal and a good once over.

Twist my arm, and I'll look after the GT2 for you. I'll even use it once a week, just to keep it all ship-shape. wink
