Just having a browse on AT this evening, quite a few GS’s on there along with a nice looking MC Victory.

Do any of the GS’s listed on AT belong to forum members? Also is the MC Victory worth the extra?

I have a QP GTS and a 612 Auto, is the GS a big step backwards in terms of reliability and drive?

Thanks

The MC V is a very different beast, lots of posts about it, carbon seats, quicker rack plus more.

You'd have to try it to know how it would suit you, very different from the QP GTS for sure.

Thanks, will set some time aside soon to fall into the black hole of google and MCV reviews along with GS LE reviews. Not often you see a black MCV I prefer the muted shades.

The MCV feels very different to drive than a regular GS, and a more special place to be. But they are least twice the price, so only you can decide if that extra is worth it to you.

Hashluck on here has a very lovely blue MCV for sale.

You could do worse than to start here with the excellent @Nayf article featuring my car.

MC-Victory is really a model in its own right and the very best iteration of the Gransport. Needs to be driven back to back to ascertain if they are worth the extra to the individual but there is no doubt in mind and to anyone else lucky enough to have driven one. Interested parties are welcome to have a go in mine which is for sale.

Felt privileged to have driven the only one in New Zealand after I'd put a new clutch in it truly a very special car indeed.

As @Ewan kindly pointed out, my MC-Victory is for sale. Read the full ad and works done here:

https://www.carandclassic.com/car/C1412630

It will be serviced at Emblem shortly along with a new MOT. @conaero also completed a pre-emptive PPI late last year.

Forum members can ignore the price in the advert. I am prepared to have a very sensible conversation with any interested parties.
