Default Force 6 Question... ???

My best mate just bought a Force 6 and I've got a few questions that remain unanswered by the Ford dealer, and FPV website.

If anyone can help me, it would be greatly appreciated!!!

The car is numbered P002 on the small plaque below the gear-lever, but FPV will not tell me exactly what the significance of this number is.
The reason I ask is because the certificate of authenticity says that the car is #64, but the car is number P002....

Also, he is the FIRST registered owner of the car, despite the car travelling 9500km. The dealer told us that the car was an ex Ford/FPV vehicle used for testing, photos, and promotions, and that it was used for In-house exercises.

Basically, I just want to put some truth or fact to these things.
If anyone can help me, that would be great, or email me on redhott69er@hotmail.com (i know its a stupid email address...)

thanks,

Loftie

If its a P build then a its a Pre production car. The dealers told you the truth, as for the certificate thats wrong!

Yeah though FPV website would not tell me what a 'normal' Force car has on this same area (whether its an F--- or P--- or whatever)...

FPV also told me that there was only 98 cars built...
But they wouldn't give me any information without the VIN number (which I am quite happy to get for them, if it will actually get me anywhere with my enquiries)...

The dealer also said that if the car is ever for sale again, that he will personally buy it - as he seemed to think that this car had some slight tweaks over the top of the normal force range... but again, without any 'proof' of this, it could have been a sales pitch to a cashed up buyer....

If it is really a Pre-production car, then I wonder how many others are like this?!?!?
and who I would speak to, to find this out.

Thanks for your help too ... LS T Ghia...
