While emailing a guy about a car he has for sale, he told me he has one of these.
I said that I didnt think there was such a thing? He replied with these details, when I asked him if the stickers were added later? No all done at the factory, got all the paper work to say so. only two in NZ and only 27 ever built Anyone know anything about these? here's his pic

just looks like a BA GT with a shaker and an after market sticker kit to me.
I've not heard of a B series GTHO

No they didn't ...... but there are a few around that were done like the above. Not factory nor complianced as a HO. Just a GT with extra bits.

I didn't think there was, as otherwise there wouldn't be the debate about whether FPV sgould use the name again (if they had already used it)
Im wondering about "the paperwork from the factory to prove it". What paperwork would he have? maybe the usual FPV papers without the HO part? or some other shenanigans? Maybe some private outfit or dealer did a short run of these, adding the shaker & other stuff. There's a suggestion in it's details that it's 320kw. It's registered as a BA GT 5M. Dunno what the 5M is?

its in nz... most probably a dealer special.
they will provide the paperwork saying its like that as new (from the dealer though). they could even have rego'd it as a gtho if they got a friendly person at vtnz.

Because he's saying 'there's 27 built, only 2 in NZ' Im wondering if it was a dealer special but at an Australian dealer maybe?
I looked it up & it's rego'd as BA GT 5M

5M???
Was that the code for the 5L, V10 engine BMW used in the M series??? I know... I should get back to my work.... Curious to see clarification of the '1 of 27' bit to be honest... perhaps just 27 cars that match the combo this car is being sold as??

5 speed manual- 5M.
These GTHO's are so secret that even Ford and FPV didn't know they were built. |

LOLs
In all seriousness though, isn't whoever sold him this been a little dishonest? I mean, it seems this guy believes that he has a factory made GTHO, & a little research could've told him otherwise, so that's his own responsibility. But should dealers or other outfits really be putting out paperwork or suchlike that says something is what it isn't? On 2nd thoughts I think Im taking things a bit too seriously there. Just kinda seems almost like forgery or fraud to me. I mean replica, sure. But 1 of 27 blah blah blah. The pic is from the guy who sold it to him, so it wasn't him that cooked all this info up.

Ba gt's were modified by herrods and its outlets and sold by ford dealerships. |

Just a sticker pack pretty much. In the photos of it are there any engine bay shots? There should be a custom GTHO plate in the plenum

Could it have been done by Wayne Draper and his "Homologated Options" company? Same guy who did the Allan Moffat ED?

I asked him if it had the plenum badge & he said it didnt have it & pointed out the same thing, that it's not an xr8. (& not supercharged).
I explained to him that it couldnt have been built as a GTHO by Fomoco or FPV, that it would likely be a package done by another party. I haven't heard back from him. Maybe I told him something he didn't want to hear. I feel a bit sorry for him to be honest, cos I think someone might've given him some dodgy info. I guess it depends how much he paid for it, if he paid what a BA GT is worth then all good. But if he paid for a special edition GTHO ...

It's still a bit beyond belief for me tho, that someone would supposedly do a special run of cars that they didnt own the rights to the use of the name.
