    I only wish it was a bit more than boring silver. the yellow/black or the blue/white or even the white/blue ones look stunning but the silver isnt lary enough

    It is the only one in Ireland.
    Purchase was by application to FoMoCo. Fixed price too, subject to vetting.
    Some have since appeared on ebay unfortunately.

    I heard a rumour - don't know how true, that the GT owner is also the owner of a well known Ford Main Dealer garage in south Dublin?

    Again, I only heard the rumour.

    i think it looks smaller in silver for some strange reason.
    I remember thinking that clarksons blue one looked a bit smaller then the yellow GT they had in the studio before it went on sale when they made a big deal about the automatic filler cap were it opend like a space ship hatch.

    It doesn't have stripes! Usually Silver GTs come with white stripes. Is the showroom open on saturday?

    it may have been in the contract that if he was givin the honour of being allowed to buy it he would have to let it be shown off.

    1. DB9 (I'm 99% sure that this isn't just a car!)
    2. M5 (sentimental reasons)
    3. Ford GT (for the way it looks from the back at speed).

    Yeah silver is boring on a car like that !

    If its going into a collection I wonder whether it will be registered at all, thus avoiding the €73,000 VRT !

    Actually its a red one thats in galway with a white stripe. some document on window stating that higgins galway is the oldest family ford dealership in ireland so maybe thats why they got the loan of it...its a smasher!!

    The one in Galway, is indeed a second GT for Ireland. It was on the quays in Dublin on the back of a transporter - most probably on its way to Galway. Think it is purely for showing off though and not for sale.
