When i looked at the Type R GT, the sales guy was biting my hand for a deal.
The car had just 68 delivery miles, whatever that means, i guess it was a demonstrator ? and it had been registered to the dealership, so because it had been registered and had some miles on the clock, he was willing to do a very good cash deal for, £16800.
Thats almost £8000 off the basic GT list price. and this one was no where near the basic GT model !!!!!
Personaly i think they knew that for that type of car to sell it needed a buyer who was out looking for that particular high end spec, so it could be sitting there in the showroom for ages , just waiting for that buyer to come along, this is why he offered me such a good deal for cash.
If the wife had nodded just ever so slightly i would of bought it there and then.
I've Googled Type R GT loads of times since but just cannot find anything that looked like the one i seen on that day, it had been lowered, had different spoilers allround, different seats, and bigger wheels, bigger brakes , and the engine had been played around with a bit. Honda had obviously taken a basic Type R GT model and let the guys in the design dept go mad for the day. it was just awsome and i havent seen one anywhere like it since that day.
