Excellent condition Ford GT, 2006, one of only 317 factory Mark II Black with twin silver racing stripes, supercharged, 32-valve DOHC V-8 with 550 hp. Factory optional extras: BBS Wheels, stripes, McIntosh audiophile system and red painted brake callipers. This GT is 1 out of 2, 100 made in the last 2006 year.
The car is mounted in a hydroformed aluminium and composite chassis that features exotic coil-over suspension, and Brembo brakes at all four corners.
Whilst the supercar stunning performance of 3. 5-second 0-60 time and 200+ mph top speed is effortlessly controlled by its superb handling and braking, it still sends a tingle through your nerves, with the very special roar of its engine behind your head when you open her up.
The supercharged V8 producing 550bhp and 500lb-ft of torque, driving the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission.
The factory specification includes a push-button start, air conditioning, electric windows, electrically adjustable door mirrors, and a heated rear screen.
The car is accompanied by all of its owner?s manuals contained in a black leather wallet, the Ford owner?s certificate, a Ford window sticker.
Current owner car history, owned for last nine years.
Imported in 2014 into the UK from Canada, bought from Legendary Motor Company Ltd.
Minor adaptions made to pass UK IVA Road legalities include:
Minor rear brake light wire change for signals.
Rear fog and reverse lamps attached under rear bumper, with fog lamp switch under interior dash.
Front and wing small signal led strips adhered to body as personal preference to avoid drilling minor holes for original UK GT signal fixing.
Head-lamp bulbs changed to suit UK spec. Originals kept.
2017 New high tensile drive shaft bolts fitted owing to original Ford recall issue of weak bolts. Took the opportunity to replace clutch with the recommended higher spec Super Twin Clutch Kit SS-TRIM and flywheel performance sports clutch system. Low mileage since replacement.
2023, paint correction (polish) and ceramic coating to bring it back to factory glimmer.
Car comes with spare used seats in excellent condition, which are original ones. 2021 swapped current seats from a GT with 500 miles.
Spare set of GT black Brembo brake callipers if desired instead of red factory ones.
The most recent MOT test was on 25 July 2023, which was a clean pass.

The driving experience is equally incredible. The ease of handling makes it easy to become complacent with the analogue control of the raw 550 BHP power behind your head, taking you of 0-60 in 3. 4 secs and capable top speed of 205MPH.
