This was for sale from 888 themselves not that long ago. Wonder why the second owner is getting rid of it so quickly.

Front right wheel has the 5 stud pattern but the others are single nut jobs. Or is it like a false hubcap affair?

I was thinking just the same thing. Driving around in my ford with the ford badge on it, I was hoping to get the same deal. I'm advertising ford. Time to pay up Blue Oval

LOL - done up taxi, how many patrons have thrown up in the back of this jobbie.

Seriously though, sticks out like a sore thumb, run out of milk - yep just be back in a jiffy luv, just take the Ford for a run down the shops and back - everyone and I mean everyone would be wanting to have a crack.

Meh - $17,000 of trouble in my book.

Come to think of it, my sponsorship cheque from Jim Beam still hasn't arrived either.

I highly doubt this car has been anywhere near the 888 workshop. For one the seller make no mention of it being an actual promotion car. Plus base colour of the car is lightning strike, not the chrome effect 888 uses.

Looks like a mock up the guy has done himself, now trying to off load it before 888 drive holdens next year, good luck to him. If he buys me a slab of bundy, I will take it off his hands.

Why would you highly doubt that GeckoGT?

The one that 888 had for sale was an XR6T with high kilometers and the same wheels.
