Don't know it, but that is Autohaus Hamiltons so give them a call and they will be honest about the car.

No chance they are going to buff it out. Unfortunate for the owner, apparently it is only 2 weeks old.
I am running the Lambo in Prod Sports this year and had a clash of dates.

Presumably they would be selling on consignment?

I saw it the other day at Autohaus Hamilton (they are also selling my white GT4 at the moment - My manual GT3 arrives this month :-).

Autohaus are a good outfit - Ask to speak to Scott and he will fill you in on the car history

Unfortunately another clash of dates with the CAMS State Supersprints at Wakefield. I was back yesterday from the 3 Day Snowy drive with Dave Thomas in the GT4 (Neville Zarafetas was along too in his Cayman GTS). So much fun.

Dave Thomas Driving Adventures http://www.drivingadventures.com.au.
A lot of backroads and then all the best roads around the Snowy Mountains taken at a "spirited speed". A couple of nights at Jindabyne and some good dinners with like minded folk.

All,
My last part from my GT4 is my IPD plenum & GT3 TB, for sale in the classifieds section if of any interest to us locals.

Hi all,

I sold my GT4 recently for a GT3 Touring (havent really driven it yet, been far too busy... ).

In any case, I have a never used indoor cover and a never used front splitter for a GT4 for sale if anyone local is interested.

Please PM me if you are interested in either one of these.

Hope everyone is still enjoying their cars!

The only publically available 981 Spyder VIN I could verify is: WP0ZZZ98ZGS150250. Based on that, their sequence is between WP0ZZZ98ZGS150000 - 1999. This looks right as the US Spyder Registry thread leaves less than 2000 produced for ROW (ie not counting North America). Plus the sequence before and after these VINs return no results. So here you go!



*1524 is going to Port Kembla.


25 x Spyders up to today and as the last one was loaded over a month ago that might be it. I can do the search again in a month to see if there any others pop up but certainly looks like very low numbers compared with 140 x GT4 and 67 x GT3RS (and still counting).

PS: I've stopped blanking out VINs as they are publically available. If folks have a problem with that, please chime in. Based on this info though, would Aussie rennlisters be interested in an Aussie 9x1 GT3/RS/GT4/Spyder registry? This could also help confirm the numbers if people verified their VINs.
wow - missed this post 2 years ago.
I can see my Spyder VIN, actually looks like the lowest number (but not the first delivered)
