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...

Brand new to the forum here, and a brand new Gen 6 owner
Already did post one other question here, when i was searching for the true identity of my car. Found it in the mean time, its an ST Thanks for answering that nagging question

Was for sale with 65.000 km on the clock which is suspiciously low for a 19 year old car. Asking price 5500 Euro (bit high for my taste)
Offered 4000 for it and was accepted. It is a sale froma garage, so I get a 12 month warranty on top too
Took it to a specialist place where they go through the car with a fine comb. Result, according to the technician it could pass as a new car. Mileage is original.





Have in the mean time added 1000 km to it and still love it. Ok my head hits the sunroof... (my 6ft 4 figure doesnt help) but it drives like a charm. A real analogue car. No ABS, No traction control, no DSG box, ... nothing my previous daily driver (given to my wife now) all had, and guess what, I like it better , a lot better even. Mifght be the old man in me with about 1 million km under the buckle in 16 different caars, but this is the best of them all..

Hope to learn lots about this car on this forum. Not planning to do any mods at all, its just a too clean and straight car
