Why are 2 GTO 3 R s for sale in the M400 section does this mean I can advertise my m400 as a m600 ??

Not sure about the white one, but the other 3R is a bit differant as it has an M400 engine as fitted at the factory,it was one of the Last 3Rs and I think the only one to have this engine fitted as new by Noble( I am sure I will be corrected if I am wrong)

I know what you mean if its a 3R then then it should be listed in that section to avoid confusion.

Actually if my information is correct, that Crystal Topaz 3R is a fairly early 3R, and the other one is Urbs (R0162).

As for where people put their adverts, I suppose they're free to put them wherever they think they their target audience will see it, but I agree, it can be confusing though.

Wonder whether Chris sold it when it was last advertised then, as the seller is now a "Keith"? However, it stated one previous owner and unless I'm mistaken I'm sure RO162 didn't buy it new.

Dunno how many owners when he bought it in the UK but I didn't think it was new(?), but he did loads to it, took it to Cyprus, sold it to Stavros for a couple of billion something's, he smashed it into quite a few bits, Chris rebuilt it into its current form.

It's also 2 grand cheaper to buy the same 3R/M400 car in the M400 section than in the 3R section.

The Crystal Topaz 3R is mine which I placed under the 3R Classified. A local Dealer is also marketing the car and placed the ad under the M400 section. The lower price is the correct one. Sorry for any confusion.
I hope this posting does not contravene any posting rules.
