The chrome accents on the wheel arches and sills of earlier GT models continued initially and the tail gained a black section that made the GT look sportier from the rear." Ford Aus never made or imported the UK 1600E, but in Aug 69 added an L option pack "The revised GT was also offered as a special L version with the 1600E's wood dash, upgraded L seats with Fairmont trim and the L full wheel covers. The GT L was often seen with a vinyl roof, the Capri’s full wheel covers or the optional Rostyle wheels." Link to "www.shannons.com.au" , Link to "www.shannons.com.au"
