GTS variations

[Miniac]

The same could be said about my GTS but I know the history of my car really well, my extended lip for the arches were removed to allow the fitment of the Mini Special arches as the originals broke while being removed for the bodywork and we all know how hard it is to find decent replacement GTS archesin SA and the ones that we brought in from Oz were not of a good quality to use either without some major rejigging, my seats and door cards have also been reupholstered and my motor has had its twin SUs removed in favour of a easier to set and maintain single HS4 (soon to be fitted with twin FZD Dellorto side draught carbs), essentially we can't say whether a car is what it is or not until we have personally seen it and had a look at the factory provided evidence of what the shell really is in terms of body plates on the passenger side rear parcel shelf, passenger side seat cross member and the bonnet slam panel.

The cluster, steering wheel, grille and boot badge are all correct for a 79 model GTS however the stripe is most definitely not a GTS item, the suggested or mentioned engine colour is also correct being a dark greyand the top tinted windshield and lack of internal sun visors also suggests that those items are correct as well as the heated rear windshield which was added to the later models and the black rather than stainless door mirrors, there's a lot of detail pointing it towards being a GTS but as I stated earlier, we really would need to see the body plates to be 100% sure of it all.
