Fully restored with every FC accessory known to man, heater, radio, spats, instruments, window deflectors, door handle guards, trim rings etc. Hardly driven since the resto, I pull it out, wash it, drive it dry and back in the garage.
Since owning the FC I have had some maintenance done, all the brakes overhauled, new wheel studs, the exhaust replaced, radiator re-cored and flushed, sundry other items.
After offers around $27,000
Do your sums and work out that over time, this is what you’d spend on panel, paint, chrome, professional resto work etc it’s just that you pay it all at once if you buy this!

I live in Canberra. I’m not interested in protracted negotiations and tyre kickers.

gbkimmo,
Beautifull car mate. Not picking on it but the first photo had the date 2004 when it was being dismantled whilst the later photos had 2002 and 2007. Is it the same vehicle as the first photo?

Brett, ignore the date stamps, they are not at all accurate.

I thought I knew the car & thought Alfio as soon as I viewed the first photo, I remember the build here on the forum.

Alfio was harmless and I think alot of the drama was in the miss communication and lack of tone (the usual culprits with online talk) in his thread and that he was clearly better on the tools than on a computer Cheesy

Either way the guy did fantastic work and the car still looks amazing.  Best of luck with the sale gbkimmo and who ever the new owner ends up to be is getting one beautiful car.

Yes, its a very nice car and I'm sad to have to see it go. But life has changed for me and so be it. This was my own 50th birthday pressie, I wasn't around to see all the Alfio 'stuff' and found him easy to deal with. Its about the car now and not the owners!
