Thinking of selling my GTR
Discussion
just testing the water as ive been thinking very hard of selling my GTR
Charles Dunn is visiting this weekend to sort a small oil leak and fitting a new clutch, then it will be going back together over the next few weeks before being cleaned ready for summer.
Im not sure what the market is like at the moment.. i havent looked in the classified to see if cars are selling or just sitting there.
as you know my car is a factory built car at a cost of £90k in 2001 but only done 16000 miles. its an amazing car with all the factory mods plus more
just after peoples thoughts

thankyou for you feedback.
i cant say what im replacing it with yet as it depends if i can afford it//
I spoke to the factory as they know my car very well and been advised its worth the region of 45k
yes you are right, it doesnt have an ls engine, which for some is better as its so simple to diagnose and repair cheaply compared to the electronic cars, but
but when did you last see a factory built car for sale?
its high hp over 600, was built using all new components (yes gearbox was brand spanking new g50/52) has alot of factory mods not available, ie anti roll bars, custome headers supplied by Gain at American speed to produce more HP, and all the options you dont see any more like rose joint suspension and air/out takes at the front wheels.
the next car will be ....mmm different. but as said depends on costs as im not a high earner, just a massive petrolhead who loves his cars

Interesting how we all want different things I could have stretched to a 430 or Gallardo but prefer the Ult!! I think you should keep the GTR and have something else as well if you have room
i dont have room unfortunately i ll miss her as its a fantastic car, and better than any 430 or lambo.. but had her 5 years now and sometime a change is needed before you suddenly realise what you have lost.
this car IMO is the best i could want from any ultima.. its factory built, every option, i know the car. its drives on track like its on rails and is mega quick, yet controllable. its so well balanced and rare like a racing car.
we will see.. it depends on price. charles is here tomorrow and then ill fire her up during the week after ive replaced the front splitter
in the mean time if anyone is interested let me know.
