General Nigel Mansells Tipo Granturismo on eBay!

I obviously have had my head in the sand during the last three years I have not had a Fiat.
 
I should have asked his sons when I had the chance if one of them will put us out of our missery and buy the damn car!

p.s. you can probably buy one of them 'Grandturismo' boot titles from a dealer or get a sticker made up in that font.

Holy crap - the seller has just put it back on with a BIN of £4500???
 
OMG...:bang::bang::bang::bang:
whats so special about it eh.....

Maybe it whinges at you every time you get in it? Or maybe it has a 'whinge' station preset on the radio? Or every time something goes wrong the car starts whinging "it's not my fault, it was everyone else."

:p

OK, so it has the plaque and leather seats. But it's a GT model (1.8 8v twin cam?) so I take it that it doesn't even have the 2.0 16v engine of the Sedi model? I'd rather spend £4500 finding/ building an immaculate Sedi...

Grossly over priced but would be a nice car for someone. The Mansell factor is largely irrelevant!
 
I agree it is far to expensive. But it should be remembered that at the time it was made/presented the 1.8 was the top of the range and an infinately nicer car than the 1.8 16v which we never saw here. Every revue I have ever read of the 1.8 16v said it was as rough as hell - all in all a pile of sh_ _!

I am sure that had a Sedici been available this would have been presented. Personally whilst I wouldn't swap my Sedici for it either I do beleive that in a few years or so this "sleeper" will be worth having due to its history - in fact I wouldn't mind it at the right price but not what is presently being asked.

It says a lot doesn't it that when the car was first offered for sale ages a go it was on Channell Island plates and here we are ....all this time later it still is......obviously there was a lot of interest then....NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
It's a horrible green Tipo that without the connection to Nigel Mansell would fetch no more than £500, is the connection worth anything, probably not.

Somebody buy it, use it, then scrap the bloody thing.

LOLOL

I think I might ask him if he'd be prepared to partially break it and sell me the Granturismo trim off the back
