Is there any data anywhere on chassis numbers for the last GT’s ? Just bought a W reg one that was reg’d 1st Sep 80 ( as were a few others I’d presume ) . Can’t have been too many more sold after then, just clearing out the old stock ?

That was quick thanks.. Mine ends 733066 so I’m 11k from the end ( presuming the numbering system was logical ?!)
