One of the members of the JDC in Hamilton in the mid 1970's, actually a founding member, Des Brassington had GT HO. I think Des bought it new......an olive green...or was it bronze, shivers you would think you would remember wouldn't you. I remember its performance was pretty impressive and could show a clean pair of heals to the Jags. It wouldn't surprise me if Des still had it, and he would certainly know its value.He was a very fussy fellow and the car would be absolutely immaculate if he still owned it. I always thought the HO....Handling Option..name was a bit quaint. Why would you build a car that didn't handle. Anyway a very desirable car nowdays though probably feels a bit agricultural to drive now. As Mr Moffatt and co said....we must have been bloody good!!! How many real ones came to NZ. Lost track of Des years ago.....are you still out there Des or your car
