yes you read correctly but 42 registered in 2008 so 42 4.2s and 63 4.7s after that as 4.2 was changed with facelift in early 2009 to 4.7 engine but retained GTS designation so we have a rare car the pre facelift model i sought mine out half knowing this and turned down a couple of post...

lovely car, i have a similar metallic grey with cream and black upper interior 2008 4.2 GTS there seems to be only 42 of these 4.2s registered in 2008 and as it was a one model year only pre facelift model the black with suede inserts was the standard interior but yours and mine would have...
