This actually belongs to a mate of mines dad, the car has been stored for some time and he finally moved it from his dads place to a storage facility, it's all genuine, check the speedo.

It was ordered through Tickford, one owner, cost over $50K new, I did have pics of the underneath, have to look for them, they are phone cam pics though so not so great but it is absolutely spotless. As for round the clock, the last time it was driven was at my mates wedding which was over 10 years ago, this family is very fussy with their cars. With regard to selling that is a big NO, it's going into storage his dad is leaving it for my mates boys so at least another 7 years before it might be for sale LOL.

Going into storage, it never came out did it??? That is mint beautiful example, instead of storing it why doesnt he put it on display at the Ford Discovery Centre??? If I bought it thats what I would look at doing.

Love to see it in the flesh as pics will just not do it justice.

Not the kind of car I would waste my money on storing though........

does he turn it over at all?
wouldnt you need to change all its fluids before starting it each time you bring it out if you leave it standing there for years?

I dont understand doing this... As was stated it was a $50k plus car, hasnt been used and therefore is a $12k max value car now... But if youve got the cash to blow why not? He should have purchased an ELGT! They arent fetching their purchase price yet but will one day..

A friend of mine was telling me about this car the other day. It's a bit of an odd choice if you ask me. I mean, I can understand if it were a GT or something along those lines, but an EF Ghia? Not as if there isnt millions of those already! Each to their own, as they say.

yeah seems a bit weird to store an ef ghia.
if it had heaps of mods and was the craziest ef ghia ever then fair enough but its just a stocko ghia.
but ahh well good on him.
cheers josh.
