I also don't recall them being yellow, but I could be wrong. Anton and/or his website would confirm.

Yes I do think they all had twin tanks too - can't recall that being a dealer option (whether to put the stripes on or not was).
Still a nice car regardless.

Not a GT because.....

1. All GTs had twin tanks.
2. Wrong boot badge and they didn't have the 'GT' badge on the boot lid - grill only.
3. GTs had adjustable head restraints, not those tombstone seats.
4. The rear seat didn't have that 'hump' in the middle - they were straight across.
5. The 'MINI' badge on the grill should have red stripes, not blue.

Apart from the tanks, all minor issues but enough of an indicator to say this is not a GT, although still a nice looking car.

One of the standard colours in the GT range was 'Bold As Brass'.

Cheers
Gavin

I've seen it a few times too, around the city road area.
Maybe it belongs to someone at Sydney Uni.
