| Post subject: | clubman gt |
Hi all, I am lucky enough to be the new owner of a 2/72 GT, its a very original & unmolested car with a 1200 engine number. It does need a good resto......so before I begin i would like to find any info on the car. Its original reg is IGL 476 vic. Car has been dry stored since 1988. It is space blue with kidskin interior , is this a common colour for a GT? Any info on this car would be greatly appreciated.

Nice buy, any more pics or details. Of my 3 GT's * Bold as Brass 11/72 GT- no strips * Turquiose 12/71 GT - Brack stripes * Space Blue 8/71 (I think) Ex police No stripes Not all colours came came with stripes (but if the owner wanted them I cant see why they would have refused). I think some came standard with stripes and others didnt. Have also heard they were a dealer thing too. I think the earlier explanaton is better. Love to see some more pics, any specific questions just ask away Bubba |

Yes should be the same style as a MK2 cooper S, with the corner cut off. These are very difficult to come by now-days and bring a good bit of money. Good for you the GT ones were a little thinner than the MK2 s ones, So checkout ebay UK for one as these are thinner than the aussie mk2 ones. And do come up from time to time unlike the aussie ones |

Quite a bit thinner, about 6mm. This photo has an A256 (std Australian 850, 1000, and Cooper and S twin SU filter) in the later thin UK style filter case.
