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...

I believe all EU 6 gens have disc brakes all around... At least I haven't seen one with drum brakes here. Everything else you mentioned seems pretty basic for an EU ST, aside from the GT badge that some previous owner "pimped" on it... But be glad he didn't put something like VTEC on it

This. I only found that out a few years ago when I saw a Euro ST.

anixie, remove the GT badge and enjoy the car.
