Does anyone have the definitive dimensions for a Granturismo, particularly the width including mirrors? I think it is about 100 mm wider than a GT which would be chuffing tight in my garage. Length (ooer Missus) is not a problem

OK, that's odd

The technical presentation document has a diagram with same dimension as 1847mm (without mirrors) and states the width as 2056mm!

Workshop manual has the same diagram at 1915mm sans mirrors....
So I'd reckon on 2056 being the width with mirrors.

You’d do well to find another facelift MC shift. This was put into my serious consideration box. I love the blue but it wouldn’t suit me. Late Christmas prezzie for you I think.

I love the blue with ivory leather - check my current car. And I'm very impressed with Richard Grace. But you are right - these cars are only going one way, unfortunately.

Gorgeous looking car - blue with yellow calipers is a great choice! Not that I’m biased...

Without swelling heads it was part of the attraction that it came from a respectable who even took the time to let me know it was on the way in. I can admire the colour very much so but looking on the young side in Essex it would bring to much negative attention for my liking. Ironically blue is my favourite colour lol

The fact that it’s had the lambda sensors done to me says the owner wasn’t trying to penny pinch and gave the car what it needed or what was advised. +

Should have folding mirrors so you can just switch the wee button as you’re going in (ooh err).

Swivelling mirrors or not, both the GT and Granturismo have very large arses. In fact, I'm more worried when I park mine in the garage to not catch the extra wide hips.

Does anyone actually know this car? I think it looks great and would happily add it to the fleet. Apart from losing my shirt, can anyone see any downsides, except for the colour Oliver?

Didn’t view it but didn’t feel I really had to as it felt trusted. Sorry don’t know the car or much else about it but do give Richard a buzz, he had a heads up on the standards I was after and called me with it being a potential, knowing I’d throw both guns on inspections so it’s a very good start for you. All the best either way.
