Ford GT40

[PhillF]

Passed one at the Lowry Hotel, Manchester earlier today. Looked special in blue with white stripes. Parked next to a Gallardo Spyder. Both very dirty. Nice to see them getting used in all conditions!

Tried to grab a photo but the doorman raced over and told me the owner doesn't like pictures being taken. Question is, why buy such a car and park is out the front of a 5* hotel on a Saturday afternoon if you don't like attention?!

And did you take a snap?

[PhillF]

Yes, one of the downsides of a 125yr old doorman is they aren't as quick as they once were.

I don't see how its a problem for the owner. They weren't in it.

[GTWayne]

Can we have a look then?

[PhillF]

Its on my phone. Not great quality either. I'll upload it later though.

They have a real presence. Never seen one in the flesh before.

GT40 or a Ford GT ?

[PhillF]

Apologies, Ford GT.

The puregt guys are staying at the Lowry tonight, so maybe it's one of them. Didn't know they had a GT in the party tho

[Silent1]

they must do as it's been coned off for them ,there's also a bentley flying spur there

[Polarbert]

Are you sure it was a GT40 and not a Ford GT?

[rosco]

The GT wasn't with the Pure Gt lot. It just turned up Saturday afternoon and we never did get to know who's they were.

There was a good 10 porkers and 3/4 CSL's parked in the disabled parking as well Saturday night

The Gallardo was filthy!

The Flying Spur was in our PureGT group, as were the many GT3's, GT2's, 996TT's, GT3RS's, CSL's etc.

I think the GT was/is Henrik Larrson's - he is resident there as he is on loan to Man U for a few months. He was down at breakfast on Sunday morning.

I bet that it probably belongs to Man U too as part of the deal
