FGT prototype car on early episode of Top Gear

[kmillen]

I'm sure this video has been posted but I have never seen it since I've been a member of the forum so I thought I'd bring it back.

This appears to have been the famous yellow(ish) pre-production car that we've all seen in the early concept photos. It looks like they had some pretty neat ideas like the automatic gas door, and I really like the shifter boot (or lack thereof.)

Skip ahead to 9:20 into the video to see the GT.

That was great - I hadn't seen that episode since it was first broadcast and it was one of the few stimuli I needed to go out and get a Ford GT. I drove a Murcielago while I waited....

Strange to see the studio so empty of audience - also no James May...

My thoughts exactly. It was very strange to not see May there. I like May ALOT more than this other guy...

Anything as VITAL as the 'gas cap' darn well better be a MANUALLY operated piece! :willy

'Sure wouldn't wanna be out in Timbuckfive someplace, need fuel, and have an "issue" with a "Buck Rogers" full filler! :ack
