Right, now that I have worked out the resizing thing, this is a car I bought off a fellow forum member mid June. Good car, all the toys and currently trying to gather up some bits to build a slightly warmer engine, it has its original fitted and don't want to blow it.
Previous pic was at Cairnryan on the way home from the mainland. This one was after a roadtest.

May have been supplied by the same dealer as mine due to the NP reg no.

This is the car and sticker you saw.
The original owner of TFR (aka Trevor) took his GT on holiday to France and suffered a break down. The car was repaired at the garage in Limoges and that's how the car got the sticker. The subsequent owners have left it on the car as it is part of it's history.

Are they the same cars? the one on the trailer has an 'H' reg plate, the one with the French sticker a 'J' Reg plate.
Nice cars though.
If I had read the earlier links I would have seen that this has already been mentioned!
