hiya guys,

Just phoned for a gt coupe and on asking the year of registration the guy said its 1990 mk2.
Is there a mk2 gt?
if so has anyone got pics ?

He said front valance had rust spot so that leads me to belive it is a mk2 as it has small bumpers, but iam confused as i thought gt was mk3.

If i'm wrong feel free to enlighten me as i'm definatley no expert

metz

There was a mk2 GT, but as soon as the cars landed in the UK the GT badges were removed and replaced with Coupe S badges. It's all the same thing, might just be that the guy's had the original badge put back on or something.

ohhhh right.
whats the spec on them m8?
and do you have any buying tips? ie:- things to look for on them.

I'm after a mk3 gt really but the mk2 sounds in good nick so i'm compelled to view it

I'm not entirely sure on the specs, I have a feeling though that it's pretty much just a 1.3 coupe with sports trimmings.. seats, rev counter, red highlighted grille etc. Don't quote me on it though

ok m8 cheers.
Totally off the subject for a sec...I think more people should post during the day so i have summat to read as i have nowt to do while at work...well apart from work but who wants to do that.

You may have to take it for a test drive to properly judge.... IIRC most were 55hp with sporty trim (much like the last of the 'real' mini coopers - no actual power or handling improvement, just graphics) and only a few if any got a top end boost like the Mk3 to 75hp

There are a few RHD GT's around, madmk2matt had one called jim a while back, now robin on porka.net has it.
they are rare, unless it could be a left hooker? <which means it would have a brake servo >

Even if its a LHD GT import itll prob still have 55hp. The later ones used digijet multipoint fuel injection which is similar to a mk3 GT setup but less tuned. This engine also made it into early mk3 CL's (NZ engine)

But a servo would be very nice. You can do alot more to ur car if youve got a servo (well, it makes things easier anyway)
