Customer’s GTM earns Car of the Month status

EuroSunday Club selects Dave Borden’s GTM as it’s featured car

 

The EuroSunday Club was initiated by, and is still made up primarily of a group of Ferrari owners, and gears itself toward any super, exotic or rare vehicle.  The club has expanded over the years to include all types of European cars and motorcycles – and one customer-built Factory Five GTM has been welcomed into its ranks.
 

 

That one car, built by FFR customer Dave Borden, standing toe to toe with the best factory-built European cars of the area, has recently been awarded the EuroSunday Car of the Month honor!

 

Dave is no stranger to Factory Fives, having built a Mk1 (FFR 1046K) back in 1996, and a Challenge Car  (FFR 2200SP) in 2000.  Both cars were hand-built racecars - assembled with the highest quality standards attainable.  Not surprisingly, both cars were winners on the track and at car shows.

Staying with what Dave knew best, his GTM (F5R1000005MS) was also built to the same exacting quality standards - and the praise and accolades it has received have been well earned. 

 

It is one of the nicest customer-built GTMs we have seen so far, and is a perfect example of the level of super-car that Factory Five customers are building all over the world.

 

Some of the recent honors Dave and his GTM have received include:

-          Corvette magazine (June 2008)

-          HP/Intel commendation (November 2007)

-          SEMA Car 2007

-          Knotts Berry Farm Best in Show FFR

-          Knotts Berry Farm Presidents Choice

-          Car of the Month, December 2007
