Looks very fresh. Although the ad states its a 2.5.

[Chapppers]

Awesome! I might buy it and then spend 2 years finding and fixing all the issues that won't have been sorted.

[D_G]

Rare colour too. Must be pretty much the last 2.5 looking at the registration.

It has abs?

Yep, A Booster Seat - junior has grown up since he got the car

[F.C.]

The ad also says its been properly garaged for five years and not used, by properly I hope he means started regularly and warmed through, otherwise I suspect the engine will need a proper refresh.

"Condition is as One would expect Virtualy As-New and Completely as it left the Factory"

"Used by a mature gentleman to get to cricket on Sunday" That is definitely some kind of euphemism for his swingers club.

Who would pay £34k for a stock GTO-3 unless you want it as some kind of time capsule museum piece? Surely the point of these things is actually using them... The super low mileage cars have such a high potential bork factor it's not even funny.

[slipstream 1985]

the irony regarding a new unused one being a pitfall waiting to happen. it's a bit like the whole
"one lady owner" oh great so basicly the clutch is fked!

[TuxMan]

Bloody hell 34K for a std GT03 !!!!! Bet it does not even have a track day sump !!!

Only if somebody buys it at that price, would somebody give me £40k for my 3r, don't think so

Embarrassed to say I think mine still has orIginal fronts, But after rockingham and all the extra rubber fused to them they should be good for another 20k miles

I'm not interested in selling mine but if I'm not alone among owners in liking the warm feeling of a buoyant market, shouldn't we be making encouraging rather than disparaging noises? Lovely car, great value imho.

[jdearden]

My front are over 30k old and a number of weeks after the rockinham track day the lumps rubber are still on them. It is making road noise very loud.

Is anyone else still on SO3s?
