I almost posted about this car cause it was the first FTO I'd seen this guy sell that had over 50K miles on the clock. He mustn't have got round to clocking this one. :roll:

He also states its a GPvR - but it doesn't have Version R seats or the front strut brace?

I guess the fact its been on Irish roads for a while (already registered unlike his usual imports - he probably took it as a trade-in) is probably good enough reason for him to sell at a lower price. However I'd still handle with care - this is one car I'd definetely want to get up on a ramp.

Aren't these Version R seats, and manual aircon? Also no leccie folding mirrors. Just looks like they removed the strut brace when it was put back together.

also bodywork looks dodge,

looks like a respray on that side?

Ahh - OK - I stand corrected - It is a GPvR - I didn't see that interior picture on Autotrader or Carzone.

Why would they remove the front strut brace?

If that had been a manual I'd actually have gone to have a look.

I like the way the FTO changes into a Teg R half way through the pic on the ad- look again!
