Is the 1970 Viva GT classified as a standard viva or the SL90
I need to know for the reproduction carpet apparently there are 2 different ones. As in carpet patterns.

Body shells are the same. However automatic versions/GT competition shells may have a larger transmission tunnel

All HB and HC shells have the same transmission tunnels. There were no 'automatic' tunnels. However the gear levers emerged in different positions depending on transmission. This was allowed for in the design by putting a long hole in the top of the tunnel and fitting appropriate plates to suit the lever position.
