    Looking for a 4200

    Matt, you may well have a point there. The mechanic who did the PPI pointed out that he felt the clutch was lacking ‘bite' somewhat and perhaps the adjustment you mention would improve it. To all the others here who are bewildered by my comments on ride and gear change here are my thoughts...

    2007 Gransport - now £25995

    Hey Phil, fully agree with your last statement. As for comparisons.. the cars are roughly the same price now and are genuine alternatives for someone looking for a practical(ish) coupe. Plus as a hobbyist youtuber I have to make do with the cars available to me for comparison. I agree they are...

    2007 Gransport - now £25995

    Just to be clear, I said the 997 is the better car and objectively it is. that does not mean that many of us would not rather trade some of that all round ability for a car which is distinctive, with a super charismatic engine (my favourite part) and is an occasion every time you drive it. I'm...

    2007 Gransport - now £25995

    I do like the car but as the tile of the videos suggests and as I make clear in every video this is part of 12 cars! This is car number 8 in my wish list of cars I have always wanted to own, generally keep each one for 2-3 months, make a few videos and move on...

    2007 Gransport - now £25995

    Just because I've owned it for 4 months and put on just over 1000 miles I should sell it for less? These cars have stopped depreciating. I replaced the passenger door lock but aside from that I've not done anything to the car. The way I see it GranSports of this quality go for £26K, don't...

    2007 Gransport - now £25995

    I bought this car for my 12 cars youtube channel and it will be back up for sale so thought I would mention it here first.. I spoke Matthew at Giallo before I bought it in September and he said it was a fantastic car that literally needed nothing. It went through their pre-sales checks and...

    4200 Central Locking Problem

    Thanks! I just spoke to Meridien who said it would be the driver side lock!!! But to me the passenger side one makes more sense. Do you know the part number or exact name for the part I need? Is it the actual part the key goes into or the exposed mechanism at the end of the door?

    4200 Central Locking Problem

    Thought it had it figured out till I read this.. so my car will only lock if I use the key on the passenger side. So I need a new passenger side mechanism right?

    Looking for a 4200

    Hey everyone, a quick update. I've not been able to use the car much as I would have wanted.. been busy working on my Porsche 964 (converting from 4 wheel drive to 2 week drive..) and also bought a bargain Alfa GTV to muck about with for a couple of months. I have been enjoying the GS, drove to...

    Looking for a 4200

    First video on the GranSport! And no, I did not pay £15k for it obviously.. that just refers to the normal 4200's that can be bought for that price!! Unfortunately youtube needs what is called 'clickbait' to draw attention! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYATx8uLuXY&feature=youtu.be
