Hi, Garry.

The GT was announced in 2005 with Thunder Grey and Sahara Sun being the two colour choices. Chilli Red was made available shortly afterwards, and finally Storm Blue was the fourth and final colour. The yellow is the rarest of the four, with probably less than 30 sold.

Differences (apart from the kit & wheels) are:-

Toyota Team Eupope lowering Springs

Alcantara inserts in the seats

Unique Gear Knob

6CD H/U

You must ensure you do an HPI check on the GT, to make sure it's not a Cat. C or D!!.

HTH :)

Thanks scarlett arrow guess that makes this a very good car to own if its genuine would it be worth 5k ?

You're asking the wrong guy, Garry, as I think the kit on the GT is a bit OTT, and I'd save some money and either buy a 140 or T Sport personally. You should try and drive both engine varients, as some find the gearing on the TS or GT annoying on the dual carriageway/motorway :)

Do you mind if I ask what was special in the gear knob?

It has a chrome top, with a tiny Toyota logo apart from the gate pattern.
