[JD]

I LIKE.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

I LIKE.

Yup.

 

[aucky]

Sexual.

 

[_Tom]

Needs to be driven and dirty imo..

 

[Lawro]

That's stunning, love these!

 

[Martin.]

I want that so badly!

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Exceptional.

 

[Stefan.]

nice!

 

[Lal B3N]

Very nice.

But pointless in my eyes.

 

[Matt W]

Needs to be driven and dirty imo..

This!

I often see one near me that is covered in mud from some back road action. Looks mean as f**k!

 

[Sam@NP]

Never understood the whole fast ford thing.

 

[Pedro19]

What a waste of such a brilliant car...

 

[Jcs]

As above - what a waste.

 

[Budgie]

Never understood the whole fast ford thing.

I'm with ya, Mop'ead.

 

[Hixle]

Awesome! I'd love one.

 

[Damo_Sport]

Don't understand? Why do people pay big money for cars.. then not drive them :s

 

[Gally]

It has been driven. Nearly 5k miles. Also if you read the write up this guy will be driving it.

If you had a weekend car how many miles would it do?

 

[coleman]

Complete waste, although it will no doubt sell for 800k in a few years.

 

[cafcross]

It's easy to keep a daily driver in mint condition bar some small stone chips. Lovely car.

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Never understood the whole fast ford thing.

Nah neither have I tbh.

 

[v15ben]

Seems a waste to me, nice car, but hardly a classic Ferrari.
I'd enjoy driving something like this too much to clean it all the time and only do 5k miles.

 

[Sam@NP]

Wouldn't say a waste. It's only a focus

its on nearly 5 k

 

[kev182cup]

I've always kept my cars clean and polished and I can see the car looks nice but I don't understand why people pay someone a lot of money to do it. If you want an immaculate car do it yourself or don't do it at all.

 

[Herr Flick]

If he put that up for sale today, how much more would he get compared to one that has been used properly and has the normal mileage for these?

 

[Hodgins]

Looks great,
need to get mine paint corrected for when the weather breaks

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Not as much as he'd probably think i wouldn't say Rich!

I'm not into 'garage queen's' i'll admit, i just appreciate what look like concourse conditioned examples when they do pop up!

 

[Daniel]

I hope the photo of the speedo was done pre detail! Look at the dirt!!

 

[BoatNonce]

I honestly have no idea why anyone would buy one and do anything other than kick it's head in day in, day out.

I see what you're saying, but if I had the spare cash on somewhere to keep it, I'd be doing exactly the same as this guy. For all we know he has a new shape frs as a daily and this is his pride and joy.
It must be a lovely feeling knowing you have the best model of a certain marque in all of the land!!

 

[Chris205]

That will be worth a lot...in 20 years time

 

[kev182cup]

20 years of these expensive details plus servicing and tax plus insurance equals no profit.

 

[Gally]

Lols.

 

[Gally]

Add up products and time involved you'd be nearly 3 times the price of that detail. Add in the skill factor and bare in mind Gordon is one of the best in the business it's far from silly.

I have a little bit of knowledge and even i'd pay someone to do my cars.

 

[Daniel]

20 years of these expensive details plus servicing and tax plus insurance equals no profit.

Who cares though?? It's a hobby for most car enthusiasts.

My dad spends £2k a year on golf club membership, god knows how much ££ on green fees and changes golf equipment yearly at a cost of over £2000!

It's horses for courses.

 

[Chris_200CUP]

Miss mine

 

[Addicted]

I bet there's still rust on it

 

[Chris_200CUP]

This car will hardly de value and will commend 15-16k maybe more in few years, if its totally minty minty and standard. Price of this will go up and not down.

 

[Dan...]

That's beautiful

 

[ROB91]

Very nice indeed. Needs a trackday to break it in
