Mk1 carb GTI
I have had my car for some time now, it is a series 1 1979 mk1. it came fitted with the 1.5lt carb engine. it is a two door version. i wish to ask that is my car is a GTi version, as on the insurence it says Gti but most people tell me that as Gti stands for Grand torismo injection thus my car cannot be under this catrgory. can anyone please shed some light.
If u could also define the difference between a GTi and a non GTi mk1.
regards
