GTO3r for 25k?!

[scottyr]

Have about 25k to spend...preferably wanting a 3r in red, black, or another none neutral colour.

Went to sovereign in whitchurch to view the baby blue one on autotrader...seems a nice example but with nearly 30k on the clock, bog standard GTO3, 25k seems a little on the expensive side (already said not any chance of negotiating...

How much more does the 3r offer on top of the 3??? I prefer the headlights, but what are the mechanical differences?

Also, if anyone willing to sell for this kinda price...drop me a line :-)

Where's Martin (Jenx)? - can't see him letting the turquoise wonder go for £25k though.

As for the differences, generally 3Rs (but not all) have a track day sump and a six speed gearbox whereas they were optional on the 3.

He he, must say, I do like the turquoise number with the black alloys....

Come on Jenx, I can stretch a little further if need be.

Scott,

I've got a red GTO3R, 6 Speed, track day sump, was on the front row on that famous Rockingham group photo & £25k seems a fair price.

But,

Sorry mate I'm not selling because,

Whilst its not the best car I have, and
its not the fastest car I have, and
not the lightest car I have, and
not the rarest car I have, and
not the most fun car I have,
and you can't have the roof down,

it is my favourite car. Because it involves the driver more than any other I have (although only just surpassing the M10).
Every time I drive it, even now, nearly six years on, it is an occasion to saver. Long live LN, if you got a pound every time your cars put a smile on my face.........

Good luck.

Chris.

First one I've already lined myself up to look at...but still needs the TDS, exhaust etc...

Second one, looks good on paper, colour not for me though.

[wessexrfc]

Black looks great but is hell in the summer, the other colour looks better in the flesh than in the photo imho!!

[scottyr]

Got a couple more in mind anyways.

2nd one could be worth a visit, had some money spent on it....problem is...at 28 is the bloody insurance lol.
