As topic says... am yet to see a single black GPvR let alone a manual one. Anybody knows of any member or someone who owns one?

There has to be a few people with them, as there are red seats floating around.

There were 91 Pyrenees Black GPvR's made & 46 GPvR Aero's.

According to the production figures;

542 GPvR's were made and from that 322 were manual and 220 5spd autos.
370 GPvR Aero's were made and from that 240 were manual and 130 5spd autos.

As far as I can see it's impossible to tell exactly how many Pyrenees Black GPvR's had a manual gearbox.

I almost imported a Black GPVR Aero manual instead of my White one back in December 2011. But it was in a bad state and was going to cost the same as my white one which was immaculate

Talking about rare FTO's, the only Green Aero GX is parted out on Yahoo Japan at the moment. Apparently the car had only done 56,000km

Oh damn! Very bad state to recover am guessing? Are the red seats in my fto from that black vr? +fingers crossed+

Nope. Sahin has the red seats. Yours aren't vR seats. They have been recovered with some type of fleece.

lol, fair enough then.
Not everyday you see a Green FTO, let alone 2 listed at the same time for parts.
