Those side lamps and vertical reverse lights look correct for Epic / Viva GT. The only apparent difference between Epic GT and Viva GT is the badge and the central grille divider - missing on this Epic.
At $2500 Canadian (about £1500 GBP) it's also a bargain. I would buy this car in a heartbeat if it weren't 6000 miles away. Unfortunately, J.P, it's also about 2000 miles from Toronto. if it were closer to you I would send you the money and ask you to buy it for me!
This ultra rare historic Vauxhall most definitely needs saving!

Also the reversing lights were later set apart inboard of the main corner ones.
Also I have come across pictures of GT versions of the Wagon/Estate which we didnt get in the UK Maybe they could be had via special orders at a price maybe thats why I’ve never seen one..

Well I would be happy to go look for you - just PM me your banking details. I have the round side lights - though maybe I do have the wider ones as well - now I need to look (though will likely keep the round ones as they are more delicate)
$1000 to get it to Montreal - $2000 to the UK (CAD) and Bob's your uncle
