Just got the previous owners history from DVLA on the GT2...

Dangers of tracing a cars history.....but it could be either good or bad I guess and have mixed feelings as it was the first GT2 in the P1 fleet between 2003-2004 - the P1 members took the mileage from 1,000 to 20,000 before P1 sold it on after about a year.

But that was over 10 years ago and its in fine shape today and all original panels....so I should be grateful that Damon himself drove it and wrote that piece for the paper :-)

I wouldn't worry about the P1 link. It's not as if it was used on a trackday and thrashed by spotty oiks who's girlfriends bought them 5 laps in a Porker for £150.

I think P1 was/is quite a well established supercar club and was quite costly to join. You' presume the members treated all the cars with respect.

Nice write up, I've a lot of time for DH, a thoroughly decent bloke, great champion & superb driver. It's a travesty that had circumstances of been different he could have been 3 times world champion.....

As to your car, I wouldn't worry too much about it's early history after so long. It'll have been well looked after & who's to say a one owner example won't have been ragged from cold by one poor driver?!

Personally think that is a great bit of history to have associated with the car!

That's a cool find. I really can't imagine that now your GT2 is 12 years old it would dissuade a future purchaser - probably the opposite.

According to another thread that's running hot, your biggest problem is that is has a turbocharged engine.

That probably why P1 sold it on.

Really? Ha ha...unfortunately there's no censor on BS smile

Damon seems to have quite enjoyed it. For me, the GT2 is without question the best car I've ever owned.
