It is a shame that there are now just 24 remaining.

24 in the U.K, around 150 were built worldwide.

Nope, after reading through that website, the Autocar review is interesting, they say it was great to drive but the driving position was all wrong. I still want one though.

Very old site Adam the guy wrapped it round a lamp post and that was the end if the site mate.

 

[GransportFan1]

Did he own the Yellow one on the home page???

 

[Pibbow]

Yep and there is a after pic on enrico's site not a pretty site.

 

[GransportFan1]

i will have a look now, a Yellow Ghibli cup wrote off is a painful sight.

 

[GransportFan1]

Found this one, this is not a pretty sight.

Here is the yellow one, make sure the Kleenex is near you. As soon as i saw this pic on my screen i shouted "oh what the f**k" my mum then said "is everything alright" Makes my cry that picture, especially as it is a yellow one.

Its only over the last few years that the Italians have got the driving postion right for all.........You need to be an ape to drive an Italian before 2001............Long arms, short legs...

That was off Enrico's pages as well...

It's 24 in right hand drive of the original 26.

I doubt there are 24 left here- if you read Enrico's he lists the location by chassis No. of each car and a few have been exported.



Sir Drummond Bone petitioned the factory to produce a limited run of RH drive versions...

 

[GransportFan1]

I would be surprised if there was still 24 left, how many would you say remain Jim?? 16??

 

[GransportFan1]

Ah this is nice. That Ghibli Cup looks bloody gorgeous.

Lovely pic Adam.....

Enrico's is a great site for Ghibli info....Loads of pics of owners cars..

 

[GransportFan1]

Yeah i always go on there to read about the Ghibli's, especially the Cup models. Saw one Ghibli Owner managed to track down one of the Ghibli Cup race overalls, look really nice with Ghibli Open Cup embroided on them.

I went to my (first) wedding in THAT yellow car in '99...

three years before I was an owner myself.

If you want to know how many are left Adam, the Ghibli Cup database on Enrico's pages has to provide the most accurate public record I think.

Owners tell Henry and he collates the data...

(As they say at NASA...)

Just been on Erico's page, yep, not too many left, noticed yours was there Jim, 3rd to last one to be imported. Only 1 Yellow one remaining. What you think of it in Yellow Jim?? i love it.
