waks Member 2 Member For: 21y 4m 28d Posted 03/11/05 06:30 AM Share Posted 03/11/05 06:30 AM Hey Guys,Just went window shopping for a new car and saw the Centre Ford here in Perth had a Mk2 GTP 6sp and a 04 Typhoon 6sp with Brembos for sale. They had VIC plates and looked a pretty used but the interesting thing I noticed is on the build number plaque inside the car, it had 'P 002' and 'P 014' respectively.........Whats the P for?btw they wanted $62k for the GTP and $55k for the phoon.....
