Presenting in A64M Thunder Blue with a Gravity Black leather interior, Chilli Red mirror cappings and white indicators
Options over the standard car included restyled front and rear aprons, side skirts, a full rear wing, and lightweight 18" alloys
Supplied with its original book pack including the handbook, stamped service book, various supplements along with numerous receipts and old MOTs
The car also has a Certificate of Authenticity and its original GP1 sales brochure
