    The twin distributors point to a Series I car. There isn't a good view of the front fog lamps, but I'd say Series I based on what I can see.

    Sadly in Aus, the series II also had twin distributors.

    It is a series II. Its # is 11908, which puts it as one of the first cars built for 1976.

    Pap's answer was the best.


    The sunroof says series2, bc it sure looks like a factory roof and they were (supposedly) only on series1 cars.

    The glovebox looks like a series1 car.

    I am unsure what to make of the bend in the shift lever: my series 2 does not have that. Scrolling through the "how many GT4s" thread, I see none with an angled shift lever. Perhaps it is from a Mondial? Doesn't seem to be an early/late dichotomy.

    Twin distributor setup varies as to country of origin, see the partsbook pdfs for variations.

    Dino registry here says that it's car number 2 from 1976
    http://www.dino-gt4-registry.com/Reg-1976.htm

    And here's some more info
    http://www.dino-gt4-registry.com/11908.htm

    Being that early in the series2 production, I can easily see the car being somewhat of a mixture.

    Scrolling through the "show us your gt4s" thread, there are precious few interior shots, but they do seem to confirm my above observations.

    Perhaps we need to start a "show us your GT4 interiors" thread?

    Thanks guys for the resonse.

    it is a series I.

    i've found someone who saw the car when for sale and confirmed it.

    also, it doesn't have the central a/c vent and the full width front grille apart from anthing else.

    Actually it doesn't. #10418 and #10776 are both series 1 cars and both have sunroofs.
