Anyone know of or have any experience of it?

Desperately want one and this looks to fit the bill.

I have no direct experience of this car, however, someone who came to look at mine said that the gelcoat is starting to show through under the orange surface so you would need to look closely at the finish.

It also looks quite strong money for an old iron block rather than the more modern LS engine.

Blimey, I didn't notice that it didn't have a rear wing either. I guess my mind just airbrushed them in automatically!

I don’t know the current price of a factory rear wing but you must be looking at close to another £3K fitted - and you would want one for track work.

Thanks for the replies, i'll look into all of that.

Yes it seemed strong money, I noticed no rear wing and assumed it wouldn't be cheap!

Mostly road but potentially a few track days.

What options/accessories are missing?

[845ste]

tyres, racing pad, rear wing, spoiler ant, side scoop, accusump, many radiators ,exaust racing, set-up engine, and other personalized things to your liking.

I do not know if this gtr has all this.
did you see it personally? road test?

in the photo looks and colour good

Someone above has mentioned me and my Facebook post in the Facebook Ultima group.

I went to see it a week or two ago. It would probably need a respray, is missing a lot of the bits you would want, and the price is high. I've also heard some horror stories about the dealer, however I have to say that he was a gent to me and very accommodating. He took me out in it and it felt good, however the roads were damp so we didn't push on too much.

I didn't buy the car.

I wouldn't touch that dealer with a barge pole!

They could have cleaned the heel mark on the alcantara surface before making the pic....

the price is not absolutely high.
Iindeed it is very cheap for a car so configured ,if it works all right.
But I repeat that I do not know the real conditions and I do not know the dealer.

I'm afraid I don't agree, this is an iron block engine, if it was an LS then maybe. There is another similar spec car (the red one) for ~£6k less, admittedly the stated engine power is less.

I would say bang on the button Mathew as a starting price ( £39 ) way too expensive as is.
Personally I wouldn't buy a bicycle from THAT dealer either !
