Paint restoration completed, including carbon wing
MOT valid to November 2026
Recent £12,000 overhaul
The Appeal
You'd be forgiven for never having heard of the Factory 5 GTM, so we'll start with a quick introduction for the initiated. One thing's for sure, once you've driven one, you certainly won't forget it in a hurry.
Powered by a thunderous 6.2-litre LS3 V8 mated to a five-speed manual transmission, these component-built, mid-engine supercars were designed to dice with the very best, the likes of Maranello and Sant'Agata could come up with. These are seriously quick cars, delivering an unfiltered driving experience that few modern cars can match. These cars were capable of 200 miles per hour plus.
This 2016-registered example has covered just 2,875 miles and comes to market in what the vendor describes as very good condition. Fewer than 150 were made, and we're informed that this is one of just two right-hand-drive examples. Maintained to factory standard specification, it has been carefully stored and benefits from a recent paint restoration that included the carbon wing. The intake grilles have been upgraded to a higher standard, and we're informed that all instruments are fully operational.
Recent preparation includes a PPE service with coolant replacement, and the car comes with MOT valid to November 2026. The vendor describes the driving experience as astonishing and sometimes frightening, with strong sound and performance - exactly what one expects from a V8-powered car of this calibre. For those seeking an exhilarating weekend toy that combines classic styling with modern performance, this well-maintained Factory Five presents a compelling opportunity.
The vendor says:
"It's astonishing to drive and sometimes a bit frightening. I love the sound and the incredible feeling I get from driving it."image.png1.37 MB
