interesting how they state the description is provided by seller and in their own way wash their hands of seeking clarification of the cars DNA. don't know anything about the car or toranas in general but GMP&A shells having been coming out of hiding lately. wonder what the Torana gurus have to say about this car?

The shells are stamped GMP&A iirc, that should be a tell tale...no stopping anyone stamping it themselves though i guess...

Has someone had a go at removing the compliance plate?

Also, for a car with such low mileage, the paintwork flaking around the bolts isn’t what I’d expect for a near new vehicle.

Sorry, should pointed out thats a different car, that plate is from the Street machine Castrol GTX giveaway. Only had 13k's on it, and Street Machine gave it away as a prize!

For the record, street machine claims 7 sedans and 44 hatchbacks built.

like buying anything rare and desirable, due diligence is paramount given the sums of money involved
