Spoil sport!

Lol, sorry ;)
I guess the best way to stop speculators is to sell them to people who don't need the money. For what it's worth I'm not sold on its looks anyway. It's got daft lights. So that saves me the bother of worrying about not being able to afford it!

It's not just that, it's down to a range of factors, it's more to preserve the price of the car and stop immediate flips of the car, Porsche did it for the 918, and it worked incredibly well.

What is the criteria on buying one?

Previous owners of the ford GT will get 1st dibs. Then it will get offered out to high ranking customers. They have probably targeted people who own the "holy trinity"

But nothing stopping them selling them straight on. They just won't get offered one in the future.

Also nothing saying that this will be a limited run.
McLaren 675 LT was supposed to be a limited run. Then they announced the limited edition 675 LT spyder and have now announced a even mores hard core limited edition 675 LT.

Only corsa owners get excited about limited editions. Not aimed at you Manders, I'm sure you have seen the memes.

You can put deposit down though, same as for the Mustang before it was official. I was in a dealer last June and a guy had been in and put his down.

You can put a deposit down to say you want it, but you wont guarantee it, they'll refund the deposit. From what i've seen online (Aleandro "Salmondin" and "Rob - Superspeedersrob") the criteria is (Correct my memory if i forget something).

• Be a valued ford member / known to the group (So own an old GT/Have had owned an old GT etc)
• Strong Social Media Presence
• Be able to pay for the car
• Contract to not "flip" the car until after ownership for a year
• Car must be driven X miles (Obvs want the car shown off)

They're the only known criteria, also the only ones I can remember. Deposit doesn't = car. Deposit = interest (for this GT at least).

Reason for most of this is to preserve the cars value, increase it's resale value, give it to people who want the car, not people who will buy to flip (as luxury car 'trading' can actually net you quite a sum of money if done right, see Porsche's GT3's and GT4's now flipping at 50-75% more than base price)
