A GT4A is a widebody varient of the 90-91 GT4. Same air to air intercooler and turbo as a standard gt4, just widebody and has the premium 10 speaker system.

Only slightly more valuable than a standard narrow body gt4.

GT-Four A

Near the end of August 1990 Toyota introduced the GT-Four A. The A stands for 'Adovansu' or advanced and this is the first ST185 model to use the widebody shell. The GT-Four A came on 15" wheels to fit over the slightly bigger front brake setup and got an improved set of lights - yellow headlights and yellow fog lights. The optional 10 speaker sound system of the normal GT-Four was also standard in the 'A'. These extra's came at additional cost though; with a price of 2,900,000 JPY the GT-Four A was over 8% more expensive than the normal Four. A year after its introduction the GT-Four A was taken out of production. In reality though, the production didn't stop but the car lost the 'A' badges as well as the yellow headlights, because from that point the normal GT-Four also had the widebody shell and bigger wheels and brake package.



Model code E-ST185H-BLMVZ
Production August 24, 1990 ~ August 1991

I used to have a tow bar on my ST205 but it struggled towing my trailer and Elise, especially uphill :( . Probably fine for smaller trailers like CdeB uses?

You haven't seen my big trailer have you ? :lol:

Trailered a 185 down from Leicester no problem. Had to switch back to petrol on the steeper hills to avoid slowing down, but otherwise OK.

Its all downhill from Leicester to London Chris :wink: Try climbing the South Downs at anything more than 40mph towing over a tonne with an ST205, painful.
