The GT intrigued me so had another think.
The person putting in the interior trim would have seen this and the obvious and most common trim level would be SL for any Firenza 2300 OHC, the DL trim was export only. The Sport SL trim was different from the SL in that the seats were perforated vinyl recliners, so......my theory is that the Sport SL trim was commonly known in the factory as GT trim, Many of the workers would have been familiar with the HB trim levels, DL, SL and GT. The terms were familiar and could have carried on into the Firenza model among the workers.
