Has anybody seen the elusive beast?

[Bajers]

Hi All,
We have had our GC600 now for 2 months and done a couple of thousand miles and stopped at a few sites around the country.
I really hadnt noticed but my partner pointed out that we have not seen a single other GC on our travels since we have bought it.
Thinking on, I can only remember seeing 1 GC600 a couple of years ago on a site and thinking how ugly it was then! P.s I still do but appreciate that is very subjective.
Even in my day to day driving, which I do a fair bit, I cannot recall seeing another Grand California.
I have had some pretty rare cars in the past but never, ever anything as thin on the ground as this thing.
Are they really few and far between or am I driving around with my eyes closed.
Happy touring folks and give us a wave if you see us on the open road.

I just looked online, up to Q4 2024, there were 57 Grand California 4 motions licensed in the UK, so quite rare.

This is the GC 4Motions figures. Do you know the total number of GC's

Well, you say you still think it’s ugly and probably many do, so it makes sense you don’t see them a lot ;-)

Ps. As long as you enjoy it, it doesn’t matter whether you or other think it’s ugly (or not).

I saw 9 on the same site a couple of weeks back! 2 of them were 4motion 680’s

Exceedingly rare here in Ireland. Regular Californias aren’t super common either mind you (even on campsites) but I do see one once every few days. The GC is a once every few weeks/months thing. And I think I saw a 680 only once ever.

Other vans of similar size are very common on the other side. Just not the GCs.
