One word- Stunning.

I like the interior, Tech Cloth is really nice, the Gransport i was in yesterday had Tech Cloth and i thought it looked smart. Do you have Tech Cloth head lining in yours??

I didn't even look at the headlining - was so taken with the look and the drive!

Bl**dy **** Woody - I must be losing my marbles - I saw the car in Towergold and took these pictures of it in February - completely forgot about that!!! That's serious dementia!
Towergold is in South Croydon near to where the previous owner lived - many of their cars are sold for customers on a commission basis - I think I couldn't justify £30k on another car so just forgot about it!

Hoping to make Stanford - if my carer is free too!
haha....that's golden!

I hope you can make it, would be good to see a red GS up close.

Good man :D so when do you pick it up? Saturday??

Yep - they are sorting out the number plate transfer, doing a couple of small jobs, I'm counting down the minutes!
Got this dread that as well as not looking at the headlining I missed a load of issues!! I kicked the tyres - they seemed fine. The visor works and the ash tray was clean - should I have looked at other things!!?? Didn't even open the bonnet and pretend I knew what I was looking for!

Seriously though their 3 month warranty, the service history and the RAC platinum for £500 gives me the peace of mind I need - Eclectic Cars (www.eclecticcars.co.uk) have a Breakfast meet on Sunday morning so that will be a great opportunity to give it a run on the motorway.

You should have opened the bonnet, might not be an engine in there :D I dont think there is anything vital to look for really. When Friday night arrives you will be like a 7 year old on Christmas Eve. :D

When I was 7 I crept into my parents bedroom and looked at all the presents beforehand, going to have to be adult about the car.

I have not seen a Red GS Coupe before, i have only seen 9 Gransport's in total.


Test drove a blue 4200 at Carrs in Exeter back in 2006 and they had a red GS in the show room....It looked brilliant...think it had biege leather..as was it blck...My memory isn't what it used to be.

did you look at buying a 4200 instead of 3200?? Carrs looks a nice showroom, they had an MC12 in once.

Had the Exige..Phoned them about a 3200 they had but had just sold..They said I wouold be better off with a 4200 and they had one that may be of interest...........So was off to Cornwall any way so popped in for a drive..

I think I prefered it....It felt more together than a 3200....

It was Azzuro Blue (think thats how you spell it) with cream leather..It looked lovely.
