Id buy an EL GT before a BA GT. Although id be too tempted to mod it, which is why I havnt/wont buy one. Single turbo 600rwhp ELGT would go down just nicely
Same goes for an EB GT.

a BA OR BF GT is a better car. but an EL will only go up in value. because it is a special car . buy that and a EL XR8 . FOR 40 G's . and drive the gt only on special occasions . one day it will be worth 50 to 80 G'.

Number 3 not crushed that mine P003
Nup P003 is different to HGT, the HGT's were all based on EF/L Fairmonts. They never actually looked like the production EL GT, HGT1 was stock on the outside but had the drivetrain of EL GT, HGT3 was the bodykit development mule and the other 2 I have no idea lol. Point being, P models were different to HGT mules.

HGTs wernt all crushed either. Discovery centre had one on display at the Tickford day/FPV day a few years back. Unless its been crushed since.

HI B2tf
H- was only the code name Hawk i think

MY was pull from the program after Testing i have the fax from David flint to John Thurston CEO Tickford UK who took GTP003
to the UK as a promo car at head office

Here part of the fax i have about 20 odd faxes between david and john

DATED 20/2/1997
TO John Thurston From David Flint
Please assume then that the vehicle (BLUE AUTO) is yours I have grounded the car and it is being brought up to full production spec as i write.

It was sold to Tickford UK at a discounted price because of the KM that was on the clock when it was pull from the program. I have the fax and sale invoice regarding the K and price






The GT left for England on 12 Jun 1997 arrive 19 July 1997
