SUMMARY
A second generation Eclipse Coupe directly from the Fast and Furious Live Tour.
DESCRIPTION
- Left-hand drive, 1997 Eclipse GS 2.0 modified to replicate Paul Walker's Eclipse in the 2001 Universal Pictures action movie 'The Fast and the Furious'
- The car was used in the Fast and Furious Live Tour until 2018
- Heavily modified at the time with certain aspects such as the smoke machine now deleted
- Believed to be fitted with a larger turbo and intercooler and large bore exhaust developing circa 200 bhp (tbc)
- An opportunity for any Fast and Furious 1 enthusiast to acquire a piece of desirable motoring memorabilia directly linked to the Fast & Furious franchise
- Resplendent in the film livery, this Eclipse has not been driven on the road for some time and is offered without a current V5c (although it is UK registered) and without a current MOT and consequently, some work may be required to make this vehicle road legal
