idawina Member 23 Member For: 20y 1m 8d Posted 31/03/08 12:07 PM Posted 31/03/08 12:07 PM I picked up my new tornado ute today and I see it has a build number in the gear lever area. Does anyone know how many of each was made of each model gt, typhoon, tornado etc?

Just make sure you don't buy a P000* as that is a Pre release or Press car and usually Pre production vehicle.. Test Pig you could call it Edited 07/04/08 07:07 AM by F6_Tornado
