not sure if theyre rare or desirable but mate had one to knock about in as a workhorse and did him proud. Sure he only gave a couple of hundred quid for it though.

There is an orange looking one there with loads of rust nr the gate close to the road.The rest look like they can be saved imo.Its worth a drive up just to see them,the cars live at a big house on the bend of manchester road.The gt is silver

I used to have one.It was a cracking car.TBH i dont think there is anything really special about them.I think they only made them on a J,K plate.I miss mine and wish i had kept it now.

Forgot to add, the GT was made from 1992 to the end of production - it was essentially a "parts bin special" to get rid of old stock before the production run finished.

Because I gave the shell/rear axle to someone from the RSOC Cheshire Group for him to do a full restore after I finished breaking it for parts about 4 years ago and that is where it seems to of ended up :shrug:
