    What is GT spec

    I went and looked at a Saffy/"Gay Gold" C70 today - which was cited as being a GT spec within the trader.

    Am I correct in thinking that winter pack came as standard on the GTs?

    I told the bloke that it defo wasnt - despite his protestations that the bloke he had bought it from some months back told him it was.

    GT spec to my mind includes the 1/2 leather 1/2 suede trimmed seats and door cards. The seats are electric and have the 3 memory positions.

    It did have the SC-901 headunit but didnt have a trip computer or winter pack.
    Wheel choice - this one had the BBS split rims but I wasnt sure if that was an optional extra anyway?

    I also thought the GTs had sunroofs?

    Suffice to say that asking nearly 6K for 95000 miles on a V plate with dodgy wheel bearings, low spec and nearly new Nankangs - I was happy to say "NO THANKS!"

    Gonna hold out for something slightly more decent!

    You are all wrong. In any case this thread wasnt about me - it was about GT spec. So can we stick to the point please?

    Full electric leather (But i think it was an extra option. Extra padded)
    Leather door cards
    Computer
    Cruise
    Winter Pack
    17" Canistos
    SC900 Dolby System

    Im made up it has the cruise on a manual

    You could always buy mine Dave

    As suggested previously I think there's a lot of things you would expect to see on the GT as standard that are actually optional extras.

    As far as I can tell mine's got the lot except the 901 stereo.

    Heated, electric 3 position memory seats
    Full Alcanterra leather
    Dolby Surround Sound System
    Trip Computer
    Dual Climate Control?

    In addition I don't think the sunroof comes on the GT, I've never seen one with it.

    After seeing the pictures of Mark's C70 (Salvo) I think the Nebulas look great.

    I'd love some for my car!

    The Nebs weren't a option on the C70 as they are 8J, the Triton's are 18" 7.5J and were a option,
    But i agree they do look good on the car,as they are a bright silver finish,

    Never said the Nebs were an option. I just said they looked nice on the C70 and I'd like some one mine

    Ah but I didn't know yours was a GT, don't think I've heard you mention it nor is it on your signature.

    Must have missed the sunroof but then again I didn't have any shoes on so never left the front door. I'm not the most observant chap you know
