If this is the car I saw listed on Facebook earlier, then it's not a GT - rather another case of an ES with GT on the logbook.
It's Paris Blue with black half-leather, no A/C & a power moonroof.

Don't worry you're not the first to make that mistake There was a chap on FB not too long ago who was absolutely convinced his bright red ES was a GT simply because it said so on the log book. I don't know why, but for some reason a lot of ES models were labelled as GTs by dealers. The GTs are easy to spot as they have a really whacky multi-colour leather interior with BBS style alloys and Air conditioning.

No need to apologise; there was a whole batch from around 1993 wrongly recorded at DVLA. That's why How Many Left talks about there having been over 300 GTs when in the UK the GT was a strictly limited edition of only 250 cars.

No reason why you should have known! TBH, as an ES with half leather interior, you're more likely to attract interest than if it were a GT.

Might be worth re-posting though with the correct details so it doesn't get ignored...

David

do you have black plastic around the speedo clock. black dashbord..

Is the car Paris Blue (code 318)? If so, I'd be interested in both front wings, assuming they aren't rotted through at the sill... I'd also take the plastic window trims above the rear side windows, if they haven't faded to a weird bluey-white as one of mine has done.
Cheers

Hi I still have the dashboard panel although it has the usual broken piece on the left top corner. As for the wings the drivers wing is totally shot but not sure about passenger side will need to check. I think the panels above the rear windows are pretty good but will need to double check also.

cheers, well I'll have any of those bits in half decent nick, oh, and if you're willing to post - don't think i'll make it to Fife! I'll send you a dm.

Yeah mate willing to post. Ill get to the car within the next couple days and let you know if there in good shape for you

Hi mate I have both trims for above the rear windows here for you but unfortunately both front wings are rotton. Pm me or email me rkuk99@hotmail.co.uk

Small request I know, but are the little plastic hooks that the rear cover clips onto still OK?
I do could use 1 of those, plus a a few as spares if possible please.

Cheers

Sorry mate there all missing on this one
