GX
Does anyone know anything about the GX model? Was it the range topper? From when was it available and what options and colours?
Any info would be appreciated!
Cheers

You could always buy this colour brochure I came across which has the prices when new, colours and all the technical info to keep? Although Dubboy's pretty much told you everything! :wink:

Ive just bought a green one.! Ive always known they were a high spec but im real impressed at the "luxury" feel of the interior and look of it!
The only problem ive found with it is that it has no pick up! Havent had a chance to check whats wrong but im guessing its something to do with the vacuum advance and/or float chamber?
Its fine once up to speed but slow down and it takes forever to speed up again.. and also going up the hump brige near my house everyday, it almost comes to a standstill!!!
Anyone had similar problems?
….Nice pics Dubbgirl, hope you sort it out and get it on the road soon! You might as well take some of the other hubcaps… maybe you'l mistakenly include a reflection of your face in them!
