Its not a GT. A GT is YG2S8 and will say it on the compliance plate.
It is an early Clubman with an 1100cc engine.

Yg2s7 is a standard clubman mini. The single fuel tank confirms this. These wouldn't have come with flares.
A GT is yg2s8 and would have 2 fuel tanks, factory fitted steel based flares.

The engine number 1010 isn't familiar but 1001 indicates a 1100cc engine (again std for a clubman where a GT would have 1275cc engine with twin carbs)

Disc brakes would not be standard on a 1100cc clubman.

You could use this as a comparison. It is a YG2S7, has a 1275cc and no bids at $7500. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/332132574246
