    1997 Vt GTS Build 78
    I am compiling a list of all known Series 1 GTS's if any of the members out there can help gather details, I am gathering the following

    Build Number, Build Year, Vin, Engine Number, Colour, Interior (cloth or leather), engine type(lol i know should be all 5.7 stroker, but I hear rumour small build numbers were L67 super 6, in a GTS...WTF?), How many KMs, gearbox type (manual or auto), Location, (town, State), rego number, advertised price(if for sale), vehicle condition, and any other comments eg, Build #2 was peter brocks wifes (Bev) car, supposedly.

    If anyone is interested I could post my list in the appropriate area (if someone points me at it).......Any help that anyone can give would be great......
    I have just bought Build #78, anyone that may have any past history on this car please PM me..........Cheers.

    Not so sure, YET, my uncle a guru when it comes to matching gmh stuff, mostly the old stuff, BUT he has an interest in this model and he believes there is a handful of 1997 build supercharged 6 cylinder gts. I am not sure 100% so I have added the cat to my list

    I am interested in any VT series 1 GTS in existance, dead or alive.

    There are a Very small number of Series1 GTS in Britian/Europe, Badged as GTS-R, One can clearly be seen driven by Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson, Check you tube.

    As for L67 Vt series 1 GTS I am still unsure, will ring HSV when I get a chance to get a definitive answer.

    Please Gents if you have a VT Series 1 GTS or know of anyone that has one, or sees one.......send any or all of the details for my list. Any information to help me to expand my list would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks man, added to list FYI, Build Number 345 is for sale in Sheppaton, Victoria listed on carpoint, and #356 is in Katherine NT and has 319K on Odometer.. My list will hopefully allow to spot a fake, or modified car in the future. Thanks again mate , hope I get some interest off other members.

    Is this list still being compiled. I just bought #403 which is the car featured on hsvgts.com - Registered at Namecheap.com. My VT 1 10th Anniversary and my new awesome GTS sure look good together but I have to sell the clubby. I can't afford both. Pity but as I've just finished putting it back to factory specs and making it original. Love driving the clubby still, that 5 litre and 5 speed work so well together. Picks its revs up so quickly and smoothly. Magic in the windy stuff. Just sings. But you just can'targue with that torque from the Harrop stroker in the GTS.
