Picked my New Granturismo Sport up on Saturday havent stopped smiling

[Blu Elettrico]

Welcome Dougie. What a stunning GTS, loving the carbon sills and black headlights. Another owner coming from a 996 Turbo. After 18 months of ownership I don't regret moving one little bit and still relish every start up.
Enjoy your beast!
Cheers Blu

What a beautiful car, you're a very lucky gent.
I am jealous......One day........

 

[Wattie]

Gorgeous cars, like your taste!
I'm intrigued by what you think of the 356. I've a soft spot for the McGurk range of 356's......very cool.

*How do you find it to live with, did you consider McGurk when you purchased from Chesil?

Cheers Wattie

 

[DougieMc]

Cheers
The McGurks are nice but the chesil is closer to the real thing.
Yes they are both replicas and some people screw their nose up at them but if was real you wouldnt drive it or use it so the replica allows me to have the looks and usability,
We did the roadtrip 2 years ago in it to Monaco, Maranello, Como and Nurburgring.
In a real one you wouldnt put the miles on it.
Its awesome and ive just been out to the garage and put the battery charger on as im going to take it to work tomorrow as weathers looking good

That looks awesome Dougie congrats! We must do a shoot with it some time. Nice to see the that 356 pic of mine again - its one my favourites!

Wow that's some nice toys you have. Had a few minis over the years even rallied one on the Wyedean a few years ago in the snow.

A guy I go driving with has a (genuine) 356S rallye and a 356 spyder. He also has a Ferrari 550 for those fast blasts. He's a nice guy too, which makes it worse!

 

[DougieMc]

For anyone interested, this is a seriously well looked after and cherished car - possibly better than the day it rolled out of the showroom (I am not exaggerating). Thanks for showing me your car on Saturday Dougie and good luck with the sale and with the M-Benz project.

I may well change my mind if a deal isn't agreed on the other one (not looking great at present) and I find some more pennies down the back of the sofa!

 

[DougieMc]

No problem Dan
Keep me informed
as you say the first person to view mine will purchase if its what they are after.

Why are you selling? (looks like 4 years of ownership?)

 

[DougieMc]

Why are you selling? (looks like 4 years of ownership?)

Yerp its an awesome car everything has been 100% perfect for everything Ive used it for.
3 trips to south of france, Italy, Monza F1, Maserati and Ferrari Factory tours.
Including the odd trip to the parents in Scotland.
Got a 2 yearold boy now and its been great for that too as plenty of space for him and luggage.
There is no specific reason for selling just time for change. Ive got a 1972 W108 Merc Im going to start as a project soon so yeah maybe just time for change.
Whoever buys it will have a mega toy which has been looked after, maintained as it should, never abused and comes serviced, 12month Moted and Maser Warranty till the end of 2018.
The car has just been brilliant in every way
I fo ask the question to myself should I keep, but no, time to move on.
