Congrats and lovely example. Love the Verde that looks almost black in the dark light and pings in the sunlight.

I've been close to pushing the button on a QPV GTS a few times but it has never happened. I ended up buying an XJL SS as couldn't justify the premium for the GTS over the XJL SS. Still feels like I have an itch not scratched yet.

Very nice. Such great car's and in that spec will be 1 of 1 in the uk. All for the price of a new Ford Focus, it’s ridiculous really. Enjoy!

Were you going "??" about posting the reg?
I quite often post a reg number where it is visible, so that the car can come up in a search of the forum. Then someone can find out more about a car by linking together where it has been mentioned, before they offer you £49,999 for yours. :cool: There is not much risk of cloning as these cars are so rare, and anyway the reg is in your pics.

Hi all, finally got round to posting on this wonderful forum.
loved the QP V since the day it was launched, but always too scared to own one.
last month this car came up....
I love green cars, so went to have a look, and bought it on the spot. love the combo of deep emerald with choco interior with wood.....not the usual interior of the GTS.
what I did not fully realise until I drove it was the exhaust note and gear changes.....WOW!!! I was smitten.
I have a Ferrari F12 and later in the year was going to add a GTC4 lusso as it has 4 seats...but the GTS has more then taken it place.
I have been trawling this site, as I have over the past 3 weekend done a FULL service ie every serviceable item, including full gearbox oil/filter with the upgraded metal sump, and full underseal+ F/R subframes by Shiltech,
I am really fortunate, as I am only 10 min from Shiltech, who are such a knowledgable and friendly bunch...
this site has been invaluable with at breadth of info and support it has......
many thanks View attachment 105650

ahhh. that's a good idea...in theory
hopefully will not be referenced for notoriety or nefarious motives...;)

still utterly in love with the car as on the first day I bought it.
hopefully this year going to get the headliner in Alcantara with Vamptrim as mentioned in forum post, in addition to booking head unit upgrade with SportsItalia

1. Subframe treatment (already done by the sounds of things)

2. Bigger brake ....

Along with usual grubby maintenance stuff that was needed when I bought my (second) QPV (4.7 S - FN09BXC), I had/have these lists:

Done:
• Paint brake callipers red
• Install new wood & cream steering wheel
• Install Android CarPlay with reversing camera
• Install GT S grille
• Put a drain hole in boot liner
• Install water alarm in boot
• Refurbish wheels
• Ceramic coating
• Dash cam front and rear


To do one day (maybe, and in no particular order):
• Make siren a bit quieter on lock and unlock
• In-line amplifier for the Aux input
• Find a cute number plate
• New front floor mats
• Improve key fobs (lacquer? paint? covers?)
• Leather refurbishment
• Interior trim refurbishment
• Larini exhaust
• Louder indicator clickers
• Branded puddle lights
• Cooling seats
• Massaging seats
• TV
• High beam switch for left foot
• Delete skyhook

For the Auto I’m not sure it is. But would be happy to be proved wrong.

Well they're cagey about it, but I understand it spoofs the data so the shift points change. Not sure if there's a shift speed change possible on the ZF?
