Wow. Nice.
I can't remember whose it was but there was a white RHD GTA in the Dutton showroom on Church St Richmond a few years ago before they turned it into a cafe. It had an information plaque too but I never found time to go have a good look at it. Does anyone know anything about the car?

I'm not sure if, in the current climate, £66K for a rhd GTA is a good price or not. It looks good at a distance but there are quite a few things that don't look right. And has anyone ever seen a modified air filter canister used as a catch tank?!

WOW! The cars interior is very nice.
I'm not sure if thats a correct oil catch can. Almost looks like a modified air filter can.

Guys,
It does appear to be a nice car but there are several things wrong. There are detail issues with the interior and the catch can is indeed te original style air filter canister which, for whatever reason, really bothers me. Also, maybe it's the picture or the plastic headlight covers but the headlight rims look wrong to me as well. For that kind of money, there should be no compromises.

Lots wrong from the naked eye. No GTA airbox. Not sure if there are the correct trumpets or not. Wrong sparkplug wires. Wrong, shift knob, wrong mats. Have to take a carefull look at the motor and all the magnesium parts to see if they are truly there. Looks like it does not even have the correct headers. Hard to see from pictures.

Yes, it's got some stuff that's not right, but the workmanship looks good. All those things that appear to need fixing are easy and fairly inexpensive.

What's wrong with the plug wires? They have the 2 bands to designate where they go.

There are very few GTA's that have all of their original equipment intact given that most of them including Stradales were used for motorsports of some kind. The headers and open air intake on this car probably reflect that. BTW, Stradales did not have the cold airbox w/ curved air horns - this wa an Autodelta option only.
