Steve's 68 GTX Convertible?

[Stu Twin]

Noticed a lurvely GTX convertible that I'd never seen before while watching 'Pilgrim Motorsports Cars & Caffeine' on YouTube last night.
How come I've never seen this before? I thought to myself.
Then had my suspicions.
Looks fantastic Steve, great colour. First time out?

Loads of overpriced Mustangs in between.

Where was that event? South coast? Adam probably knows whose it is...

Pilgrim Motorsports are at..
Unit 12/14 Mackley Ind Est, Henfield Rd, Henfield BN5 9XR.

If you check out the video and fwd to 33 minutes it's defo Steve driving out.
I'd recognise that hat anywhere! @ 30.30 minutes.

Steve sent me some pics of the car when he first got it, he keeps threatening to bring it to Brooklands and Brighton but never has, I’m not sure if it’s ever been out apart from having work done.

Hi papa del twinsters yes it’s mine picked it up Sunday no idea it was on you tube I’m just shy you know

[RobTwin]

Hi Steve, good to see you popped in! Been a long wait but it looks well worth it! Are you going to give us a sneaky peek under the hood? Got any pics?

[Stu Twin]

Sorry Steve, didn't want to blow your cover.
I was just so happy to see it after all these years!
Must a be a rare car? Hmm, about 1026 convertibles i'd guess.

There was one here a few years ago that Alan Carrington was selling but I don't remember seeing another since

Lovely looking car Steve

This was at Alders for a while?

I used to own that one before Alan Carrington had it. B5 with white interior. I bought it in Germany off Carsten in about 1996.

Thanks Matt, I remember seeing that car at the Pod around that time, didn't realise it was one of yours tho! Or maybe I've just forgot...

Here it was at Billing in 2006, up for sale by Mr Carrington, £37,500


Sorry for the thread hijack Steve

Hi everyone it’s a real rs27 gtx (thanks Adam )
797 were built in 68
I bought it in December 2014 from the west coast of America on us eBay it arrived in April 2015 via sts imports very clean rust free car sorted the prop shaft out (Alders)
Then pilgrim sorted loads of niggly jobs suspension brakes wiring etc etc
I think it’s the only one in The Uk ??
The blue one carrington had went back to Germany years ago £36500 in 2006 ?? wow

[RM23]

Hi can someone turn them round ?? Cheers

Decent B bodies seem to have gone up in value over the last year or so.
Southern Motors in Detroit just sold a 69 GTX hard top for $68900. But they do seem to charge what they like.
