To be honest, the 300 series as standard hardly set the pulse racing...so upgrades are pretty popular, and I'd say (in most cases, at least....maybe not super-rare cars) to be encouraged.

Just make it tasteful, and don't wreck the thing...that's what upsets people. Sounds like I'm preaching to the converted, though!

cheers

It could be one of those 60th Anniversary GLT saloons?

The ones in the brochure look like they're black, but that doesn't mean they didn't sell them in silver as well ...

Different brochures but look like the same models (black again) - perhaps it was Anniversary not Celebration (don't have the booklets with me at present). Thanks for the info; every day's a school day!

Welcome to the forum!

And thet really does look awesome!
Lovely colour and looks to be in great condition.
Where abouts in the world are you?
Headlight protectors are rarely seen in the UK.

More pics please!

Looks great, I don't think I've ever seen a GLT in that colour before ...

Cheers

I already guessed that judging by your nick and the building style on the background. Typical Australian/New Zealand landscaping and building. Welcome! I love the beige/gold colour, so eighties!

That looks pretty saucey dude. White is a killer colour on 300s and those wheels suit it down to the ground.
Much coolness.

Looks tidy that Tom! Very nice

Miss it

Is it sold? Or do you miss drifting?
