If it's a clone, they did their due diligence in painting all the door jams and engine bay.

On enlarging the photo the engine bay paintwork looks remarkably clean and tidy everywhere around the edges for an 11 year old truck and no discoloration or fading, hmmm, I may be wrong but it looks familiarly like a respray. At that price it would be financially worth having it resprayed but it is so easy to establish in many places if anyone is serious about buying as it's near impossible to totally hide the original color even without scratching some paint off.

So weird. Blue stripe is on the truck in the snow pics, but scroll down and the strip isn't there in the description pics?

I noticed that after your observations about the snow. So if the snow has been around for some while how long has the truck been on the market? hmmm, I wonder. 21 watchers interested or potential punters maybe just musing or interested or even maybe more money than sense

A guy I knew years ago explained the theory behind limited or special editions in cars, they are often the previous years surplus models and 'tarted' up as a special or limited edition just to shift them off the stock. I'm not sure that's the case these days but it wouldn't surprise me. He worked for Ford UK at the time.

Spare wheel is off in the earlier pics. No stripe. V suspicious of a spray.

They really made the G4s with vinyl seats?

I mean, I DID call them today and they DID confirm it IS a G4.

Listed in the features of the vehicle at first registration. Although the lady I spoke to couldnt send me confirmation, she said any dealer should be able to show anyone it.
