Help with model designation?

[mk2 mike]

Hi all, I've got a quick question for you experienced people.

 

Does anyone know if the mk2 GL model came in a 2 door, or was it only available in 4 doors? I've done a quick google search but couldnt find a definitive answer.

 

Any help would be most appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Mike.

You don't come across many 2 door GL's though, as it was a fairly high spec car people tended to pay that bit extra and get the 4 door.

Willsy's Escort was a GL and It was auto too. Not sure how rare that was

mine was a gl its in the sig pic below ,it had rubbers on the bumpers and down the sides of the car and lots of chrome

Did all the GL's come with square headlights like yours Tilbrook?

 

The one I just bought has round healdights (although it has had a new front end so could have been changed then). It's been completely de-trimmed and resprayed so theres no chrome on it now.

 

The reason i originally asked was when I spoke to an insurance company they had it listed as a 4 door, but i know their records aren't always correct. DVLA V5/HPI shows it as a 2 door.

Yes all of them had square lights due to them being higher spec cars.

 

Although the GL was never as well kitted out as the Ghia it certainly had alot more extras than the L or the Sport.
