Congratulations on getting your hands on an original car in a nice colour, no hurry with the resto, getting one is the hardest part.

Definately XW... 3 bars, XY only have 2.

Good find, is she still all matching numbers too? The interior looks very nice from the photos, good luck bringing her back to life

Thankyou car has been sitting in a panel shop since 1982 there is no rust interrior is near perfect just needs a good clean and drivers side seat needs fixing paint will need respray as the paint is cracked in places needs radiator support panel replaced on left side due to old owner hitting a white post and when they fixed it back then they put a xy side in (rough job) but when i get started will show pics and tell the history about her (very colorful)

Looks like a good pick up, and at a more than fair price. Well done. Restore it as little as you really have to and get the thing back onto the road and seen. Too many of our GT's are disappearing into the hands of investors and fading from existance, and thats a bad thing.

Well done.
