Nice looking lightweight road car for £30k

These guys could fill the void when Lotus launch their new “fat” range of cars…

I’ll have a G40 in White please with the MX5 supercharger kit fitted.

Would make servicing a short journey for me then.

The exposure they’ve got from the support races for BTCC will not have done them any harm at all.

And I actually do like the shape - which helps.

i think it looks cracking, got a bit of aston martin at the front with a Z4M side profile.

yeah love the look of them, quite cool inside too and I bet you could get them to cherry pick option off the racers and G50/55s here and there.

Tune that duratec up no trouble

That F400 looks like the Farbond GTS!?

It’s the very same, Ian… except it’s “Farboud” :wink:

EFA :wink:

Original Farboud car was very interesting - anyone know where that one ended up?

Do you mean the one that looked like a Porsche GT1 - if so, Porsche said it looked too much like their car & took the appropriate action to “kill it”? (IIRC)

The Farboud GTS project was sold to Chris Marsh (son of Marcos founder), who then sold it to Ginetta.

Rob - yes - that’s the beauty. I think they displayed it at the Autosport Show one year. I actually have one of the brochures - just went and dug it out. It was just called a Farboud GT then with a V6 twin turbo with 2 options of 500 or 600 bhp (Audi sourced?).

Yeah it was to be Audi powered. I think it was the 2002 Autosport Show, & it did indeed look fab…so did the ladies (note not the usual car/bike show scrubbers) who were in attendance on the Farboud stand.

OK - I’m off to look for any photos I may have taken. How can you remember that much detail!

It’s an age thing - the last month is a blur, but 10 years ago no probs! :smiley:

Hope you find some pics :wink:
