ST or GT, confusing car, Want to find out what I am driving Options

[anixie]

Hi all,

Very new to the Celica. Just bought mine a week ago (65.000 km, 1995)
Totally mint condition, original paint, shiny red car
It is a bit of a confusing car though

Serial/Chassis number starts with AT200, which should mean it is an ST, EU spec (it is a Belgian car, so makes sense)
However it does have disk brakes all around
It runs on factory 15 inch wheels
It has fog lights
It has power windows and central locking
It has a very convincing GT badge on the bootlid

And the "bad" news, it has a 7A-FE engine

I understand that lights, windows and probably wheels could be added as options, but the brakes ?
Question is, was there ever a special series with GT spec, but using the mechanical components of an ST?

Don't misunderstand me, I did buy it as an ST and am very happy indeed with the car, just wondering...

You probably have an ST that somebody converted with disk brakes and such.
There are lots of people who will convert the hubs/wheels on the ST so they have 15" wheels and 4 disk brakes.
And used car dealers will be happy to let you believe it's a GT so they can ask more for it.
