1998 GPvR For Sale (SOLD)

[gino]

****SOLD*****

What an extremely reluctant for sale ad this is, epically as it's the first post of 2016. But it has to be done. I thought I could keep the two GPvR's but really one is enough for any man. I find it hard to see it in the drive when I have just no time to use it. If I had space in a garage, I'd put it into storage and keep it until I had enough free time to enjoy it. But I've decided to let it go, and go only to a good home I will let it. I really want someone off the website to buy this and look after it, use it and enjoy it.

I've put the ad up on adverts as it's handy for photos etc, here is the link. I don't think I missed anything in the ad, put I probably did.

The price may seem steep, but I'm not willing to let it go for much less. I know if someone is looking for a car like this, then they will understand that to get one with this spec its going to be hard to find.
We have heard it said a thousand times before, but if I don't get the right buyer/price I will keep the car.
Here's the content of the ad, I'll leave the photos there.

Brand new alternator fitted about 2k Km's ago.
The cambelt (timing belt) had been replaced when I bought the car about 30K kms ago.
ITG Maxogen filter, recently cleaned and reoiled as part of last service. Stabiliser bracket fitted, to stop the filter shaking about.

NCT till January 2017, properly declared off the road so no problem re-taxing it. This car has got everthing it ever needed. Bodywork is in great condition. Especially for an 18 year old car. Most desirable FTO model, manual white GPvR. Excellent car, ideal for an FTO enthusiast. Not your usual rubbish, very few like this now. This is a real enthusiasts car, last 4 owners that I know of were FTO-Ireland club members. You won't put a car together like this for the asking price.

Please no swaps.
€3000

Wow, stunning condition. Good luck with your sale.

[Kace]

At least you'll still have one left Gino. That price will also fend off the tyre kickers and dreamers.

Good luck with the sale.
The price is about right I think, not that it reflects the market.... that's a different story though.

Lovely looking example.

Had a bit today alright. Very sad to see the car gone, but delighted to say it went to a great home. The new owners are FTO mad people, so I'm happy to know it will be very well looked after. Best of luck to them.

That's a good news Gino, I would say knowing that it's going to a good home makes parting with the car a little easier (never had to do it myself).

Good that it went to a decent home.
