Extra points for gold wheels
They suit it to be fair.

What is about red interiors and me ? Although though what it's wrapped in means it's excused . It's a car very near to top of my lottery win list

Never seen a Facel vega in the wild. There are a couple in the museum on the Isle of Man and I think I remember one in the (excellent) Haynes motor museum too

If I had 200K burning a hole, then I think it would have to go here:

You'd prefer a pauper's box for a gentleman's grand tourer? 😳

I wonder if a lot people think a GT and a Sports Car are the same thing? I love the whole mile eating nature of a true GT over the wannabe race car thing.

That's all fair enough but not a reason to have a horrid sludge box though is it?

In a car designed for crossing continents, a 3-speed Borg Warner seems the perfect transmission choice tbh.
Contrast with the Bora, where no auto was offered as an option.

Oh for goodness sake. You have one of the finest examples of Fast Ford engineering, tuned to exceed levels achieved by the mighty standard Sierra Cosworth. And then you only drive 5,000 miles in it. People who do that should be taken out and shot*, and the car handed over to someone who will actually appreciate what is under the bonnet.
*Hyperbole intended to emphasis the insanity of the poster, as much as that of the car owner, and should in no way be considered as a genuine desire for firearm violence, either by the writer or by anyone reading the post.**

Surely an auto is for driving in stop-start traffic queues? Crossing continents on clear roads, and sweeping curves, you want a proper gearbox

It's a piece of history but I'm not sure about the £500+k price tag.
I thought the last 10,000 mile, £120,000 example was the ceiling, but apparently not.
