What Andecorp says... old dash.

Mine is a 1999 registered, but chasisis is 1997.
On LEW the GT3S yellow car are pics of mine when last advertised for sale.

The grey GT3 import Looney was referring to has the updated dash.

Wow, I always thought BigD had an S4S  based on the Dashboard.

shows what a difference there is in Australia vs worldwide models. I thought the GT3S was the new dash model, yet seems Australia got a bunch of different stuff.

Hmmm... interesting, so I take it that some of the GT3S cars had the earlier dash and others the later dash? I would presume the 98 onwards models had been upgraded by that point. Has anyone seen a GT3S fitted with the later dash from factory?

The only late model dashboard cars I've ever seen here are

Silver v8
Silver sport 350
Grey gt3
Blue 01 v8

I'm sure the guys above may know more

GT3S was Australian specific model. All 6 cars have the old dash.

To quote the Cat from Red Dwarf "Well that puts a crimp on an otherwise damn fine plan".

Sooo.... how 'rough' is the grey one?

It's been too many years, who knows. It could be totally wrecked or absolutely mint.

Might be a question for looney as he seems to know the car...?

Never looked at in in person. I enquired about it years ago when it was for sale. It was listed  for about 12 months after I inquired. The pictures looked rough. Had an aftermarket s4s spoiler and the owner actually told me the paint was not great on it.   So I can't comment on the mechanicals, just didn't look like it was a loved car. (Unfortunately that fate seems to have befallen a lot of esprits over the years)
