Anyone remember the prince story about this?
Anyway, come across a T plate G40, 52k, he's after 3k. Will sort some pictures etc asap but if anyone is after it PM me and I'll pass over a phone number.

Another T registered G40.
T***JHB first registered 1 March 1999, blue, original condition with 53k recorded miles. Have owned this car from new. I was told that 3 G40`s had been reimported by a local garage from Malaysia where they had been stored in a container since 1993/4.
Engine number PY018495, can anyone give any idea of year of manufacture?
Car is currently on SORN and has not been used since 2006.Car is in South Wales.
Interesting...
I am intrested
Would like to see some pics
same
Owners says he'll give it a clean and get some more details on here, mean time I have PM'd everyone who's interested in it with a phone number.
pics please
Hi guys this is my car. I wrote a massive post detailing everything and then the browser crashed when I tried to add pics and now im pissed off! >:( :'(
Im going to keep this one short and sweet.
Basically this was my brothers car. He bought it with the intention on making it concours standard. He had a whole bunch of parts replaced and spent a stupid amount on this car. He moved to Australia and left me with it, but I dont really want it.
Apparently there are only 3 T plate g40's and this is one of them. Something about being exported to Malaysia but not selling, then sent back and first registered in '99.
So, this car is very clean. The bodywork is almost immaculate. There is absolutely no rust. Ive had a look on the underside and I was amazed for a car this old. The wheels arent kerbed. Totally bog standard, unmolested G40 with 53k on the clock.
The mechanicals are sound. No knocks, bangs, or strange noises.
The interior is mint. No holes, no wear.
There is a bunch of history and some from my bro. I'll have to dig it out to find out exactly what was done, but I know he didnt skimp on anything.
The car is currently SORN and has been garaged from day 1.
It flew through the last MOT with no advisories.
The bad bits:
I took it up and down the road a while back and noticed the brake pedal had gone right down before the brakes worked. Looks like the seals have gone in the master cylinder.
Needs a front tyre.
Very small (hardly noticeable unless you look for it) dent on one of the doors.
Red stripe on one side of the front bumper has faded slightly.
Black vinyl sticker on b-pillar has peeled off. Still available from main dealer.
Ok now for some pics. These were taken before the last MOT so steels were used at the front as one tyre needed replacing. I'll give it a good wash and get some recent pics at some point.

Ive been advised by Phil to take no less than £3k as is. The first person to bring me that amount can have it. Im not holding it for anyone. I havent listed it sooner as Ive been very busy, I may not be free until next month due to work. I wanted to get it sorted and MOT'd and then put it up for sale but I mentioned it to Phil and here we are...
I apologise if its a bit brief and abrupt, but im in a bit of a foul mood due to having to retype this. If you have any questions then ask away, hopefully I'll be able to give answers in more detail when im in a good mood.

Hi Amar, just wondered where you are located please. Regards Andy
I'm near Croydon, South London.
Balls I live in Croydon but was only looking to spend 2.5k :@ looks nice though man
A bit of buffing and you've got a four grand car. Hope it stays OE.
Does look clean.
So mateys probably still got that green (montana was it?) one?
Where is the 3rd?
Great seeing another of the T reg's.
Does yours also have a height adjustable passenger seat only, dodgy speedo in kph converted to mph and no cig lighter? :D
Get some photos with the reg plate on, still makes me double take and I've had the car over 10 years!
Sorry to hijack the thread ;)
I think so, never really paid attention. But the speedo has been converted from kmh to mph.
Im too busy with work right now, but i'll get round to it soon :)

man that is absolutely stunning! got any more pics? interior and engine bay? must be happy with that!
Thankyou! I have to admit it's a clean car. Garaged most of its life.
Ive spent a small fortune on her, new suspension, supercharger rebuild etc.
I'm no photographer but these should show a bit more.

Wow dude thats a really good looking polog40
Love how its pretty much factory looking (ignoring the boost pipe)
That's really nice, paintwork looks fantastic. Be good to see this in flesh sometime ;D
That is spot on!
Just read the mileage too!! its in excellent condition for a 40k car let alone 100k!! well impressed!
this has to be one of, if not the best condition original standard g40?
Thankyou! It's nice to hear your feedback. Will be going to the shows in the summer time. I'll make sure I let you know when I'm going
Is this still about?
Thanks Matt
Brettski - Oh my :-* I'm in love - only just read this and had to comment, as others have said it would be great to see this at some shows!
I take it this sold ?
Fred.
I've also enquired but not heard back? ???
I bought the blue one the post was originally for in September last year. Brett's black one isn't for sale as far as I know.
