Does anyone know how many of these are still on the road/in the club?

Im new(ish) to the recent Marina scene and didnt realise they made this model,cant say Ive even seen one even though I was a BL mechanic in the 70's !!

I believe the GT was just the American version of the coupe. USspecGT has one (at least)!

And Skip Harris another of our friends across the pond has one.

Not sure how many made it over to our fair shores.

The GT that graced the shores of Mighty Blighty was a true GT. It was the MKII Equivalent of a MKI TC. My GT is a GT as far as the badge is concerned but means nothing except 1800 single-carb coupe.

Okay brothers and sisters.... as far as I know, two years ago there were NINE still on the DVLA register- and I know for a fact one of those has corroded to death, so its at the most EIGHT cars left. Unless, of course, there are others stashed in garages.......

I had a nice GT which was in really good nick, I sold it to a fellow club member who then sold it on but as far as I know it has now crossed the water but is still on the road with a club member in Ireland so it will probably have come off the dvla computer even though the last photo I saw it was still on its british plates. Thats one car I shouldn't have sold. OBU 340R.

Yes Stu I knew the GT was a rare one when I sold it to you but I thought there would be more than just 9 left and for other members that hadn't even heard of one they were sold on the british market and were all twin carb models.
