GS Prices

Unless you are in my old 4200 - which had a better cf wheel than the chunky GS one.

Or Whack's

Yeah, but in the GS you'll be holding a carbonfibre steering wheel, so it will feel like you're going faster.

I have one of those in my 4200

The paddle shift CC manual box is very different to paddle shift torque converter autos and I find it thoroughly more engaging than any other newer paddles I've tried, so you should certainly have a go.
I've driven 4200 CC and GT(the specific model name used to denote manual with a clutch pedal) and I loved both. The fully manual is so free revving under heel and toe. You can also do a burn off with fully manual, although I still wouldn't recommend it!
The only problem I'm aware of with manual ones is that I've heard spare parts are becoming imaginary. Someone else should be able to confirm this.

I believe the OE gear lever linkage cables are no longer available, but you can get a set made up!

Or just fit a GS steering wheel to a 4200 facelift in my case.

Yep. There is no longer any stock or being made. You do see some new old stock appear occasionaly but they are silly money.

Carbon fibre....that's for tarts, alcantara for real sport car drivers!

Very few GS on the market now...guess most are SORN or being kept as sock at the dealers garage awaiting the spring. Those on Auto Trader are all >£30k bar one.

Note as well that GT Prices are on a par. Saw this one with decent miles. Yes a 4.2 early Auto but a keen price subject to the usual checks.

Very nice GT & great VFM that one. Tough choice that either older GS or newer GT for same money.

For a moment there I was nearly interested then.............RED!!!

Cost more than mine too. Although lots fewer miles

Looks nice, and the red looks good too!!

 

[safrane]

From the outside It's the same as my GS...and as mine is black inside to, this looks like a nice change.

Really? Black/red is one of the top combos IMO.

Its just too much for me, although this one is not too bad as it isnt all red, the dash top etc break it up.

Agree, the darker dash works for me too.

Surely the weight saving (along with the bit where the auto / MSP / foglight buttons / brake lever is) means that it will be going faster?

 

[rockits]

Must be a good 200kg or more difference between GS & GT.

 

[CatmanV2]

Must be a good 200kg or more difference between GS & GT.

I'd have thought so

[Slowly]

I was thinking of the difference between carbon fibre and whatever the non-carbon trim/wheels are made of - at least 4 oz (1 oz = 25gm for the younger readers) so massive saving... on the GS vs 4200

Do it Peter you won't regret it!
