As the meme goes, "Wow, that escalated quickly"! Anyway, hopefully no offence caused. Good luck to all in your searches!

So, interesting that there have been two different people posting recently complaining that they can't find a GS F for sale, but when one appears on the for sale board it all goes quiet..... Mike

Take a look in the classifieds.....

I've sent you a PM. Mike

Thanks everyone for your warm welcome! To answer a couple of questions above; Gordon-Keebles came as standard with the 327 Chevy small block (5.4 litres) out of the Corvette, but mine is fitted with a 383 chevy stroker (6.3litre) with Edelbrock aluminium heads, a roller cam and other go-faster goodies. It has 425 bhp and 495 ftlbs of torque, which in a 1300 kg car makes for reasonably sprightly performance! I loved my V10 Phaeton, so much so that I kept it for 12 years and 140,000 miles. It was the long wheelbase four-seater version with all the options, supremely comfortable and a great drive. It was only the fear of declining reliability and big bills with increasing age that led me to part with it. However, the joys of GS F ownership are helping me get over the loss! Mike

Four months into GS F ownership I finally got around to taking some pictures. So here it is, early car with fixed dampers, sonic titanium with red leather, Mark Levinson but no sunroof -perfect spec for me. The plate doesn't really suit but came off my V10 Phaeton which the F replaced. Plan is to keep it forever -one of the reasons I chose it over an M5 or AMG. I love the sense of occasion you get when driving, and the Jekyll and Hyde character. And, of course, the noise! I feel very fortunate to own three of the best sounding cars ever -the GS F, an S54 BMW Z3 M Coupe and a Gordon-Keeble. Hi to everyone on the forum! Mike
