Enjoyed the Harry's garage video with him. Very focussed on all the right things. Unfortunately 99% of us will never get to drive it or experience it, that's the shame of it.
That's why we should be grateful that there are cars like the 3.4 Cayman S in the classifieds for sensible money.Never going to give the full experience of Murrays masterpiece, but much of the key philosophy is diluted in its DNA, for less than 1% of the price

Outstanding, what an engineering masterpiece.
I did like Gordon's comment that the T.50 will be the most driver-centric supercar ever built.I just finished a blog comparing the T.50 with the other current 3 seat super/hypercars.
Am really looking forward to your review of your car once you get it - certainly a car I’d be interested in if I had a little more money

Im passing on the T.50, its just more money for a single car than I'm comfortable with. I am however getting a SCG 004S.
I had a call with the Sales Director of GMA about the T50. Spent about half an hour chatting, there were 20 odd cars left at the time (told about 10 now). Shame he never called me back to see if I wanted to sign the contract I’d been sent. Very oddLooking at your current garage and the fact you are in a position to purchase the T-50 isn’t that enough for you?
You have clearly been very successful in life. (Or very lucky - who cares. Congratulations either way).
I expect the sales manager doesn’t feel he needs to pressure someone of your means/abilities into a decision.
Sign the contract, bag yourself what will be the best car to ever own and stop being so pompous. Surely that’s beneath you isn’t it?

FiF .... I think you are completely correct when you say that it can be very frustrating driving a supercar in the UK today .
In fact the truth is that it almost always is .
Twenty years ago , when I was first fortunate enough to do so , it was a completely different environment ..... in terms of social acceptability, traffic density , policing , cameras , and even pot holes .
There is absolutely no fun in pooling in these cars at 1/4 or 1/3 of their available revs .... you are not even beginning to experience them , and in fact get the wrong impression of them .
What you really need as an essential accompaniment to any supercar is your own track OR an alarm clock .
Nowadays I drive these cars a fraction of the amount I used to 20 years ago .
Never in convoy and preferably without a passenger .
And I don’t mind waking up early .
Now I love supercars firstly for their engineering , secondly for their design and looks , thirdly for the expertise and dedication that has been poured into their development . They are every bit pieces of art as they are cars .
You have to look past them solely as being cars .
And the T.50 appears to be the pinnacle of analogue supercar technology , so again I think that you are entirely correct when you make a singular exception for wanting to experience this one supercar .

was a huge decision for me, but after seeing the car, meeting Gordon and really believing in this so much that my wife and family thought I would be mad not to my fate was sealed! can't wait to go on this journey, work with the team and really make the car of dreams...
Congratulations - that ensures at least one will be driven a lot and we can hopefully read all about it on here eventually and see some nice pics woppum said:

Aside from the ownership experience, also every indication that this will be a sound financial decision.woppum said:

Please detail it if you can, will be fascinating as a thread on its own. :-)

I've just rewatched Harry's garage video with Gordon explaining the rational behind the most salient points of this stunning car, just awesome attention to detail.
As soon as my Euromillon's win is confirmed Tuesday I shall be looking to buy someones deposit off them, long sold out by the looks of it!
