Maybe we are related? Who knows....
Moonroof was an option, big glass sunroof that lifts out and stores in the boot.

It's for sticking your @rse out of 
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Oh how I wish I had the money for this...
A car I've wanted ever since my Gran Turismo (i.e. GT1) playing days... Good luck with the sale, it's a tidy example for that money!

Thanks, yep thats the reason I bought one. Always fancied one since they were the best car on Gran Turismo 
Its good, practical (big boot and rear seats big enough for kids) not too thirsty (about 28-30mpg on a long run) and the insurance is cheapish
depending on your age.
There is hardly any that are in such nice condition and where everything works. Also very few that havent been modified and thrashed, theres no oil in
the inlet pipes which is a sign of turbos going (easy check on these cars) and it doesnt use any oil at all (never topped it up apart from oil
changes)
The only bad bits are that it needs a new aerial, £30 for a good second hand one, and a few very minor marks in the paint. But for 16 years old its
immaculate.
Bits are also suprisingly easy to get, and quite cheap if you know where to look.

Can provide a condition reference from a GTO specialist who carried out some work on the car a couple of weeks ago too.

It'll certainly drop down a lot lower if you drive it hard. On a quick blast it will average low 20's

Don't remember that being the standard Torque figure on a GTO?! Isn't that enough to restart a dead star?
