awwwww...
You bought it?
How you manage to find that?
We need more infos ;)
im a g40 supersleuth!!!
he bought it at 53 with some redundancy... and specced a gt interior as he thought the g40 ones were vile. its been off the road last 6 years, only got 49k on the clock.
I bet your parents cried too when you turned up with another g40 to put away in a garage. ;)
Looks nice though.
That is really good, shame for him though.
Looks brand new too.
Must be the lowest mileage G40 around, certainly the lowest i know of!
mmmmm black g40 looks mint i would love to of found that !!
Whats your plans for it?
cam belt (its original) service, polish, enjoy
couldnt of been bought by a better person ;)
pete just told me on msn that he's going to rat look it, he then went off to buy 8 cans of matte black paint from halfords and a batch of random stickers from ebay.
dan will be happy for the business on ebay! :D
i think i would cry if i sold my G if it looked that good. what a steal.
lol
does look good, its funny how low mileage cars, and garaged ones at that, can be easily noticed, it just looks so new and on weathered!
Did he actually cry?
he welled up yeah - sam said he looked proper gutted as i drove off in it
Oh my, oh my! What sorta price did you pay for it?

enough!!!
i didn't skin the guy!
How did you spot this one Pete?
lucky bastard. looks mint. ;D
And here was me thinking I'd be the oldest G owner in the country. Mind you, he'd only be sixty four when he stopped driving it, so I might still be the oldest driver. Full marks for finding the car Pete, but you'll probably have to keep it for another forty odd years to claim the title.

not quite he mot'd it and took it for a bit of a spin aged 70 before selling.
Im jealous, Look's brand spanking..
;D
How many g40's are on your drive now Pete? we are struggling with 2 at the moment.
Very nice car good to see it in safe hands for a considerable period of time i bet.
There's my red g - stock, which is currently a charger running in mule for various chargers!
Black g - stock
Parents garage - a project car.
And a house/two sheds full of sh1te
Very nice, well enjoy your new beauty :-)
I am still almost speechless regarding this latest find.
How did you find it? Was it advertised at all or did you track it down yourself?
super sleuthing!!!! plus when you help run clubg40, you chat to a lot of owners!
had a couple of low milers come to my attention in last year - both by original elderly owners. this one was nicest colour and most affordable!
I take my metaphorical hat off to you, Sir. ;D
Black is the nicest colour agreed.
Does look minty from what I can make out on my iPhone.
I could do with a stock G just to polish when i'm bored :(
nice, I thought you was trimming down your herd ? not increasing it.
my car has 72k.
niceone Pete, so you did decide to buy it then, it looks absolutely mint, and i bet it was really well looked after. has the charger ever been serviced?? what are you going to do with the interior?? i'd leave it, its certainly a one off, :)
nah - needs charger doing too
Reminds me of when i got mine last year. a 'mature' man owned it, had been of the road for 8 years but looked as though he'd still polished it once a month, 39k when i bought it ;) bet he was gutted selling it to a 19 year old :D but i think he would be happy knowing it is now in the garage until summer.
I'm finding it hard though, as im using a ford sierra as a daily :P
Hey Pete,
This car must have come from the same garage as my old White G40 that just sold for nothing on ebay.
It's reg was K39 BGM
Enjoy the new car. I had a black one as my first G (about 12 years ago now!) and it always looked amazing then polished up. Might go and give mine a ploish now after reading this thread.
Cheers Craig.
Thats a real find! I bet you are well pleased. Look after her and keep the miles down, got to be less than a handful of examples like that!
Slam it.
:o
