Absolutely gorgeous car - no end to the money spent on it. The most dramatic looking FTO I have ever seen in the flesh. :smt023

OMG Dave I can't believe you're getting rid!

The blue lady is stunning though - you should get plenty of interest.

Can't believe this is still for sale - goes to show that no matter how nice an FTO is - its easier to shift cheaper unmodded ones.

yeah, well i had a buyer and let's just say that fell through, but i'm sending it in next week to get all the little stone chips and any other little problems sorted,so it should hopefully shift, i've no doubt it will, just needs the right buyer to come along!
