:D I agree, I have no plans to travel that far - On a more serious note, if someone were interested, I would be happy to help and, could almost certainly find someone I know (or a friend of a friend) in the area who could go and look.

Not sure if it has sold (I doubt it) it is in Medicine Hat. I have the guy's phone number if you want it - PM me if you are interested.

BTW do want an HA manual?

Yes, thanks for letting us know, Wayne. I'm so glad this super-rare car has been saved and will be restored and preserved. Could I also echo J.P's request for more pictures please? :D

Looks like there are a few GT's surviving in New Zealand. Here's an article on the Viva GT from the April 2018 edition of the magazine 'NZ Classic Driver'.

Good write-up and photos of the cars.

We'll overlook the error early in the text asserting that the SL90 was a 1600!

Never thought I would compare Gts to buses but, another one has come - also out west.

A little pricey I think, but....
