Both look brilliant. I would prefer the Lambo on silver wheels but that’s just personal taste.

No idea tbh, buying the car wasn't planned.. Nick mentioned he was going to sell in passing when he called to see me and before I knew it I'd bought it back. 
With hindsight it was probably a daft idea as it doesn't really have a place in my life given that the Firenza is not far off and then its onto the Camaro, I may sell but I'm not sure at the mo.

You have a lot of history with that car if I remember right. If you don't need the money theres no point selling it keep it for the memories and use it now and then

I'll have to try and put the spec together but when I rebuilt the car the plan was for it to be a reliable and drivable car that could used for long distances touring abroad so aircon was a must.
Basic spec is its a 2.3 stroker with GT30 on Omex 710 management, huge Pro Alloy intercooler and rad, Tremec TKO gear box with shifter relocated to original T5 position, hyd clutch, Konis with Ahmed springs, AP 362mm 5555 fronts and 330mm AP5200 rears with mechanical handbrake retained, when it was painted it had a new heated screen, NOS lights, new mouldings etc.Its had a lot of love!
I don't need to sell for financial reasons, my problem is where to keep it.

Is the gt30 an old skool turbo or modern spec? I don’t know much about the gt range.

I was wondering how the stroker changes the turbo behaviour, if it spools up in any noticeable difference...still haven’t driven mine

That looks stunning Martin, fair play for buying it cant take it all with is.
Something I've realised the last few months we can spend our whole lives building a bigger and bigger empire but before we know it the times up and it hasn't been enjoyed, I say sod it now business is built time to have the things I've always wanted and still young enough to enjoy it
