So it looks like the limited run of GT4's is slightly more limited now:

Yes it is. The owner is actually a friend / supplier of mine. I've known about this for a while but took a vow of silence for him until things got sorted, but with the internet being what it is, it didn't take long to leak.... He's gutted especially after only completing 216 miles in it. Worse still, he didn't crash, his best mate did. They hit a diesel spill on the A1 when coming off of a slip road at around 60-70mph. The car is technically written off as the chassis is slightly twisted, but the insurers are stating they will sell it out to the market so we'll possibly see it sometime soon as a CatC....

Here's a bit more to wince at:

Apologies, I assumed that they would show to all if they did me - amended.
