Looks very nice!

I'm amazed this hasnt been sent to auction (Barret-Jackson)! I'm sure i'd let it go for the price there on about!

It was but they messed up the bidding at 120K

Nice car, but the money could be better spent buying a well sorted GN and enjoying a whole bunch of small change for fuel and alky

Sad its never been used,and will probably end up in a collection...a waste!

I would be happy to have an average used GN and keep the extra 100k for living.

I like the GNX

but i do not think they are worth the extra$$$ over a GN.

Nah, not a waste. One day it could be used as a bench mark as to how to restore them to original condition and future generations can see what a prime example looks like.

You OK Andy??? what a good post and I agree,most people will never see a real example of most cars,just re-creations.,.

I agree with Rich, good post Andy.
The only thing I would add is that the GNX is only special because the they only made 500 odd.
Any contemprary GN with the usual mods (biger turbo, downpipe, new chip, alky and uprated rear sway bar) would be more than a match for a GNX in stock form.
with the exception of the rear Mclaren susupension set up which is unique on the GNX, everything else is available for the average GN.
Talking of which, my new Turbo arrived from the states today
