here you go graham, your is one of these taken at the docks when they all landed together, one is Lee's another is Nads, guess we could get close to narrowing all 10 down to there owners

I know a t last 2 of those that were written off.......Mind you that's not to say they're not still out there.


Think I'm gonna keep mine after all.....I love that shot.

[screem]

That is an awesome picture!!

[ViperDave]

one of them is mine also as i have the next vin after nad. Although mine was converted back to LHD after that pic was taken

[Viper]

i've just looked at some old pics which i took inside Kings of Warwick of shoomroom back in 97, It was the first GTS i ever saw in the flesh, £68,000 was the price wonder whose car that is...

Edited by Viper on Saturday 11th August 19:09

[vpr]

£68800 to be precise

I remember seeing the car at the Motorshow (must have been 95) I thought to myself then that it was THE most handsome car I'd ever seen....I was just completely and utterly bowled over by it....stood there literally dribbling.

Then Clarkson had the car briefly on Top Gear and he was raving too.

I knew I had to have one.

Cost price at the time was £60000. Probably worth that again one day.

Eh? Converted back? They all came in LHD.

Would be good to get the VIN numbers, all meet down the docks and get a picture 10 years on?

[Viper]

if you look closely at the 2nd car at the front you can see the steering wheel on the right, Dave noticed the pic has been flipped so the cars look like right hand drive, this is the way the pic appeared on the Chrysler website and i havent flipped back

[ViperDave]

for some reason, when you flip it back it looks awful, probably due to the front cars going from right to left just doesn't give the impression of going forward.

though your VINS dont run in numbered sequence, so it may prove difficult to find the original 10

only 6 more to go, there was a guy we used to see very occasional called Peter Smith pretty sure his was one and brought new, his last 2 digits were 07

Edited by Viper on Sunday 12th August 13:05

[ViperDave]

mine ends 12. I guess they may be some of the few that actually did go down the line in order as there were 10 all being built to come here as Chrysler's.

Were the silverstone ones part of these 10?

[Viper]

VL ends in 36 so a bit of a gap, not sure about the silverstone cars i think they may of come in from Europe, but i can ask Chris what his VIN is

[Viper GTS]

Not quite the same I know but.....



3 of the original 10.......plus 3 imposters

Peter Smith GTS - Supercar Sunday 1999 next to Pauls RT




Supercar Sunday 2000 - another pile of blues, blimey there common

[tali1]
