Default Saw the new 40th Anniversary GT

Saw the new GT today at Keira Ford, Wollongong. Was a bit dirty but looked very good and the rims are a nice look on it too. Stripes dont look as tacky as I thought they would ( I do think Ford is at the limit of striping cars though) . I assume it was a customer car in for a service.
Anyone else seen one? Whay did you think?
Interesting that they also had a focus XR5 turbo in there, without rego yet. I thought you couldnt get these any where.

We got one in at work last week. Looked great. Pity the interior is the same as a GT's. Ford could have spiced it up a bit with colouring. Maybe brown 'GT' lettering on the seats perhaps? The rims looked really good, lets you know it isn't just a 'standard' GT.

Pity it was raining though, would have loved to test the new suspension

That's strange Anthony, I read this on the FPV website and figured these came with seats that said GT, like the BA's did.

The interior of the anniversary model is equally distinctive, with FPV sports seats finished in a combination of leather and suede, featuring silver thread highlights and an embroidered 'GT' logo.

Yes Vic, they do come with what FPV say. Im just saying that maybe they should have coloured the interior differently than a normal GT

Westpoint Ford in Hoppers Crossing have one in their show room,it doesnt have a price so it may be just for a demo. build no 309 from memory.
and for what its worth i had my rear brake lines done there a week or so ago and they were excellent to me and my 3 year old daughter(gave her some pencils and paper etc to play with)
cheers Dean

I'm not sure but I think dealers are saying there are none left to hype it up a bit. My brother was told there are none left in the entire country but put his name down for one anyway.

Over he course of 2 weeks was offered other GTs and FPV cars, but when he said he'll only buy a 40th anniversary or nothing they suddenly found another a week later! Go figure.

Could be coincidence but who knows.....
