I want to see more pictures of what must be the GT
Indeed it is. Vauxhall is (was) General Motors in the UK and Opel is General Motors in Germany. Hence similar designs. (Peugeot just bought Vauxhall)
The GT started out life as a Vauxhall HB - and then to compete with the first generation Escorts, they came out with the GT. The GT followed the typical muscle car formula - bigger engine into smaller car, so, instead of the 1200cc 50hp engine it got a 110 hp 2000cc Vauxhall Victor slant four. (The slant four BTW was to be half a v8 and even have a diesel option - never developed though it is very close to a Lotus 907 engine)
4606 GTs were made. They only came to Canada for one year (1970) where most (maybe all) were actually marketed as Envoy Epic GTs (which mine actually is) - they have a unique VIN - all UK Gts start 93711 while North American (at least) are 93731.
According to the register there are about 65 left in the world. In Canada there are three that I know of - mine, one a few hours away that I have used as a parts car and one in Calgary that I have seen a picture of. One other was recently found and it has gone to New Zealand.
I bought mine as an abandoned project (I am 5 years or so into a 2 year project) - so, like a puzzle without a box. I am slowly getting it back together. I had hoped for this year as it is the 50th anniversary but I doubt it will happen.
I rely heavily on the UK Vauxhall Viva club - but, there are Canadian differences (other than LHD) that make it perplexing.

and finally, earlier this summer, the Vauxhall show in England. they managed to get 24 cars over the weekend for the 50th anniversary.
