Blue FTO GPvR $7k ono

[PICTURES UPDATED]
[Tyres...Updated?]

Yo. Up for sale is my Icelle blue FTO.

Fun and good looking car - MIVEC also sounds awesome.

Nothing ridiculously over the top done to it but has some tasteful mods and could be a fun N.A "track ready" car.
Car was tip but converted to 5 speed manual. Runs smoother than before and definitely faster with manual. Regular oil changes, throttle body cleaning, servicing etc. Admittedly it has been in an accident before during my time. Some mofo rear ended me too busy looking at another accident, however all is fixed now.

Great looking car, sent you a PM

What? A blue GPvR?

That's a 96 my friend, which makes it a GP. Version R was only black, white or red.

First GP that I know of if it's legit.. nice.

Looks like it's had a facelift conversion.

[Shhtuart]

VIN please.

Going off the colour it looks to be a 96 GP.

[HeRo]

Yeah I know it's weird. We did this last time. The VIN says it's a Nakaya GPX? or something, and everyone was taken aback and i'm still sitting here thinking what the hell is a Nakaya GPX. Some others say it's a GP and not GPvR whatever that means. All I know is Icelle Blue is the original colour, it has blue seats and it was sold to me as a GPvR. Previous owner bought from Japan. :S

[-Nighthawk-]

Wow didn't realise it was a Nakaya Tune, only 122 of those made.

[Daniel2019]

Oh yeah I remember this. Has been facelift converted so the original nakaya lip would be long gone.

Is a nakaya tune. Rare as hens teeth.

[SchumieFan]

Yep... nakaya tune with a face lift and white gpvr seats... pretty sure the ohlins are gone too

[HeRo]

Couldn't the VIN cross reference be wrong? Seems like a lot has been done to cover that up but you'd think that that fact would not want to be hidden (ha)

Always a possibility ...

Looks really nice mate, and love the colour... So g/l with sale ...

Did it have climate control or manual air con? Or folding mirrors?

[HeRo]

Nah its all manual climate control. No sound deadening etc. All the signs of a GPvR ?

[HeRo]

... Let's just assume from now on that this car is in fact a Peugeot 308

Blahahahah...

I am betting more on the decoder being wrong... That is some major changes to do to a car, to make it look and feel like a GPvR... Unless Nakaya didn't have climate and all the goodies...

But very confusing, so like the Peugeot methodology ...

[Technikhaus]

Should update the title:
" Blue Puegeot 308 Nakaya Tune GP GPvR GPX $7K ono"

[Daniel2019]

Weird.. very weird

[Shhtuart]

The VIN is for a Nakaya Tune FTO. I'd put my money on the chassis being a Nakaya but the rest has come off a Version R and resprayed.

[bjk]

Would the Nakaya ECU still be there then? Any way to tell?

[Daniel2019]

Rip it out and see I suppose...

Leave only the Nakaya Tune and GP boxes ticked.

Nakaya tune had automatic climate control, but you have manual.. so it has to be a GP right?

No.. GP didn't come out in Icecelle blue, it only came out in Midnight blue.

So it has a GP climate control setup, but it's a factory Nakaya tune color.

What the f**k

I think the fact that it is a '96 confirms that it's a GP, the Nakaya tune was only made in Feb '97. But what's with the color? Paint code on your info plate confirms it's Icecelle blue from factory. This is trippy...

[bjk]

More confusing than Jack's GR-swapped tiptronic GS.
