Hey guys im just wondering if this is possible
FTO 1995 GPX
150kw (197hp), which is a lot of power for a light car
MIVEC engine, a high power naturally aspirated V6, so P plate legal
Climate control
4sp Tiptronic gearbox
Electric folding side mirrors
Power windows, mirrors
Full 2.5" stainless steel exhaust with straight-through muffler
GPvR rear shock absorbers
FTO blue racing seats
Italv Lanti leather steering wheel
So what is it!

GPR's dont come in a 4sp tip (with the exception of the GP, which was rare in AT) GPR's dont have electric folding mirrors either.
Its a GPX dude

Its definitely a GPX, if you want to check punch that number into the complete fto chassis ID (cant find the link on the site im sure someone will know and post it up)
IMO, if your thinking about getting an FTO, dont get a tip, specially a 4spd

Im sure one of our friendly members will regail you with a nice tale of terror on a 4sp tip

Maybe that's the aussie compliance number? Their will be a number in the above format that is the chassis number, with this you can look it up in ASA and tell you exactly what it was and what it came with from the factory.

That is the import number. If it has electric mirrors and climate control then it is definitely a GPX.
