I’m currently at my folks until nyd just outside oswestry but I live not far from Radstock / Bath. It would be nice just to sit in a V6 tbh. Wouldn’t expect anyone to let me drive their pride & joy.
The GTR was quick, perhaps not by modern performance car standards. They get a lot of attention and have a certain amount of motorsport pedigree which you can feel come across in the way they drive.
The biggest issue with them is corrosion/rot followed by flaky electronics and the cost of putting that right. IMO they benefit from a torque bias adjuster so you can control the 4wd yourself as a bit of reassurance.
Parts availability is good but you are rinsed by jdm / gtr tax on almost everything you buy. They are a bit fiddly to work on as everything is packed into the engine bay. When servicing them for example the oil filter is located in the most gormless of places.
I like them a lot despite their foibles, they look and sound nice, the performance is more than adequate even when they are left standard. I don’t think mine was really improved by being modified. People chase big power figures with them but I dont really think they need it to be enjoyed.
