My new Weber Summit FT 400

[Phil Robert]

Hi,
another weber-collector nearby offered me this unicorn and I simply couldn't say no...
The Grill is in a perfect condition, with only some small chippings, and no rust at all!
I wanted to share some pictures of my "treasure" with you!

The FT Series is very hard to find (at least in Europe) and was produced exclusively for the Australian Market. (1997/98 Weber Flat Top ad from Australia)
It was imported from Weber Switzerland in the 90s, and has now found it's final destination!
My model is from 1998...
The "Barbeque Pot" is the original one!
It is similar to the ones from the Go-Anywhere, but there are no slids in the cover, like the GA has.

I'm looking forward to have my first bbq on it...

Wow! Very nice. The “Flat Top” is extremely rare to find here in the US as well. Yours is beautiful!

I forgot a picture...
It came with the original Weber cover...

Phil.
Welcome to the Forum and great find on the FT400.

A couple of these showed up for sale near me in Massachusetts but both buyers knew what they had and wanted a premium.
