I saw this while browsing carzone;

New looking ford gt40, 0 miles and 0 owners..... Problem is that I saw that car in that same garage back in 2007/8. Do they really expect us to believe that no one has been tempted to take her for a spin in the past 5 years??

I hate it when there is no asking price in the ad.

Nice motor though.

The interior on them is seriously butt ugly.

Senna

or they were just too lazy to fill out an advert correctly.

Delivery mileage......

Read: took the scenic route from Rosslare

It's not so bad on a cruise in 6th. Plus being a Ford its cheap to service and anyone can fix it. Wonder what the finance deal is like?

Supergurrier

It's only down the road

Yes.

And,, they had to get the Ford family to intervene to even buy the car. They used the fact they are the oldest Ford dealer in Ireland or something, just to get it.

Which means it's a bit of a travesty to sell it now. There again maybe the funds are going to be used to keep people in jobs.

Sad, really.

your on:p, but in all honesty I would rather my own car interior over that, its just horrible cheap and plactic looking if I could afford to spend a crazy amount of money on a car and sat in and saw that I be seriously pissed off.

A supercar should be spectacular in every way not just engine and exterior styling.

Now this is more like it , Pagani Huayra

kumate_champ07

anyone know what price it would be?

Supergurrier

Well in the UK it was 100k new in sterling and it's got zero milage and it's 5 years old +vrt+vat+exchange rate+fact it's one of only afew with low/no milage i reckon it's just a showpiece they are using to get the dealership some attention.

Wouldn't be atall suprised if it was 150-200k euros

That seat speaker would be full of bits of taytos after a week

Henry Ford III

It's a microphone. Part of the bluetooth system for drivers/passengers who talk out of their arses.

MetzgerMeister

Lads, that's a Ford GT, the GT40 is the old one

IIRC, there was one of these on carzone a few years ago going for €350,000.

Who said you could take a photo of my car? Cheeky git:D

Francie Barrett

What an awful looking yoke.

Katunga

that Ford Gt is in the Ford dealer in Galway near Dunne Stores, its Motorpark.
that Ford Has been in the show room for years so i would say its less that 100 miles on the clock.

Call up and ask if they'll convert it to LPG?

Always thought the GT was overpriced, crude muscle tat. I say this having never seen one or driven one.

I should have my own newspaper column.

delthedriver

Nice looking car.
Perhaps I will add it to my list for Santa.

corktina

I phoned, but they only have them in red, so I'll keep looking.

colm_mcm

Just rang them. They'll give me €9'000 for the civic against it. Happy days, that's more than I paid.

bladespin

Steering wheel's on the wrong side.

JoeA3

That car has never left the Motorpark showroom in 5 years to the best of my knowledge! They also have (or at least had) an immaculate Escort cossie. Haven't seen that in a while though so maybe it was moved on.

I hope you're around when I sell my car.

As far as i know theres two Ford Gt's in Ireland. One grey and one silver. The red looks better. Ive seen them in the metal and they are impressive but if i was shopping in that league id prefer something Italian. Strange thats been hanging around so long, there has to be someone overseas looking for one.

qz

I've been for a spin in a GT, one of the silver ones. It would knock your fcuking socks off. I love them.

Joe 90

Boys, that's not a GT40. Its a Ford GT. The last GT40 would have been built around 1970 or not much later. Probably the closest you would get today would be a GT40 Continuation. Not really a replica, very high percentage of commonality with original GT40 and eligible in post historic racing.

This will almost certainly go overseas, whether it's to the UK or even somewhere in Asia, Ford GT's have actually held their value incredibly well, even appreciated in value. I have no doubt that this one (never registered, delivery miles) will go for considerably more than the price it was originally bought for. It probably won't be advertised for long, there aren't many brand new Ford GT's left in the world.

It'll be sad to see a rare car like this leave the country but not as sad as seeing it sit in a showroom for 5 years gathering dust!

Was advertised for that alright but it didn't sell, it's still with the original owner, doesn't live far from me

It was at Top Gear Live in Dublin a few years ago, other than that you could be right but I'd imagine that there are a few hundred miles on it now.

That's correct, 3 GT's in total came here. This one has always been on display in the Galway showroom but has never been offered for sale until now.

I remember looking at a second hand GT 40 through a Ford dealers window in Kingston Surrey.Price £6000.The year was 1969 and you could have bought a half decent semi for the same price.Those were the days!

Lotto done, fingers crossed, i'm off to Galway Monday.:D

A silver gt was on a few of the cannonballs,the wing mirror was damaged when i saw it.

I think they're awesome and would take one any day over a modern Ferrari / Lambo.

It was white with the blue stripes.I think,but it was a long ago that Noel Edmonds bought it. I was earning £6 a week as an apprentice at the time just to give some perspective.

Nope, I was in the other silver one, not SteveIRL's. It was w/out bonnet stripes.
