Orange Gtr for sale - anyone know the car?

[Ducati07]

Guys does anyone know anything about / been to see the orange 6.3 v8 (£44,900) for sale in N. York’s through Sports and Prestige cars? I’m in Surrey so a real pita for me to get there if it’s not what it seems. I’m aware it’s a low spec car in the grand scheme of things but with a budget of 50k, I’m limited. Added to that there doesn’t seem to be anything on the market - unless I’m looking in the wrong place?

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

James.

I seem to remember a few threads down, maybe the next page that car has already been discussed.

Thanks - have just as a read, that’s v useful. So, it seems there’s nothing on the market in my budget!

Mark Harris (356 speedster on here) on Facebook has a GTR he’s almost finished that I know is for sale. Don’t know the exact spec or price but I know Mark is OCD on detail so will be good.

Provided you have no aversion to being regarded as a hairdresser, the can am is the best way to travel (in style).... oh and mine is on the market (also orange but with LS3 power), at the same price

Nigel,

Thanks for your reply, I did notice your ad and was planning on phoning you. If you have any additional pics, or further info perhaps you could WhatsApp me on 07739688007?

I was originally going for a Gtr rather than a can an but ultimately the budget’s the budget, and I just want the nicest car I can get for the money. Yours certainly sounds nice.

Let me know best way to take the next step - happy to talk over the phone etc.

Best regards,

James.

Nabbott’s car is a good one especially with the upgrades he has had done at Autobionics. You may not know but you can get a hard top kit that makes a Can Am almost like a GTR.

For the same money you would need to WANT an SBC (or be downright nuts) to not get the LS3 engined car.
I have the hard top for the can am and I love it!.... While not an inconsiderate cost (You'd need the roof kit but plus you'd need the high door windows and full glass screen ), you would have top spec car for the money. And BTW the aeroscreen experience IMHO is amazing.... with a can am you have three cars in one. roofless, targa and hardtop.

Apologies in advance for the thread hijack, is the hard top removable with a single person? Out of interest what is the rough cost, I have the high screen and doors already.

Hi I am new to the forum and am also new to the Ultima GTR. I am looking for a car on the same sort of budget. Does anyone on here no for a good spec car for sale that they could recommend.

Sorry just saw this. Yes the hard top panels are each side so if you are on the road they come off and can fit behind the seats provided you aren't super tall. assuming you are in the garage you can remove the entire assemble for safe storage with one person. I've removed and refitted the windscreen by myself too but you are best doing that with an extra pair of hands.
Best speaking to the factory for latest prices.

Check with Mark Harris on Ultima Owners on Facebook I know he had a GTR he was building for sale but it may be sold now.

[John-b9xqk]

Thanks for the reply I will try and contact Mark Harris.

[356Speedster]

Did someone call? John, feel free to PM me to chat if you're interested in a brand new GTR..... it's not formally for sale yet, but will be soon.

Mark

Hi James,

I see that you are currently looking for a GTR. I own an LS7 engined car and am looking at options for the current year which if plans fall into place might mean selling the car - spec is stage 2 cam, app 600 BHP, AP brakes, Air Con & rear wing. If you want to chat further please give me an e-mail, through pistonheads.

Cheers
Simon
