Hello from near Liverpool, England. I own this 1987 GT. It came to the UK from the USA via Italy and a US serviceman that brought it over. It has 70,000 miles on it and I bought it last month from an 80 year guy who had kept it in a heated garage for the last 25 years of ownership. Its not perfect but it is very tidt and clean...and it runs good. I have removed the rear spolier for now because I like the look. I have covered the holes with my own scissor cut subtle graphics. I write for some classic car magazines and websites over here in England. autoclassics.com/ Classic Car Weekly/ Volksworld.

Welcome to the forum. That is a very clean looking Fiero. I bet you will turn a lot of heads with that car over there. I like how you handled the holes in the deck.

Nice way to cover those holes for the rear wing. Looks like it came stock on the car.

Very nice and clean car. Congratulations.

What kind of looks the Fiero gets in England? Anybody asks if it's an American car? Or what do they figure?

Clever... looks good.

Welcome to the forum. Don't use words such as "litres" or "kilometers" here as it will confuse the Yanks.

Nice car... You been to see MOT testing? How did that go?
I ask because Most US cars need lighting and other changes to meet UK/EU rules and your car been in storage for years...
Example: Fiero often need to Rewire front markers not to blink and add extra side blinker between front tyre and door. Is an easy way if UK requires this change.

Thanks. It has been in the UK since 1991. The high level brake light doubles as a fog light if needed. The US front day running amber lights are disconnected and white side light bulbs inside the main headlamp which flip up when on.

The car has also had a radiator fan override switch fitted to aid cooling in stationary traffic etc. It also has a tray added at rear of engine so the rain Walter doesn't dump straight onto the rear manifold etc when the trunk js opened. My only issue at yhe moment hasn't been spotted yet....in the photo you might be able to tell the Continental rear tires are 205 not 215.

Actually, a US gallon is 3.78 L vs. Imperial gallon 4.54 L

I'm surprised (and pleased of course) that an automotive journalist would pick a Fiero to own...

Point taken about the Imperial US and UK gallon. ;-)


I had one before about 20 years ago. To be honest I recently sold a Porsche 914 and I wanted some low seated mid engined fun that wasn't the usual choice and didnt break the bank. I am writing about ownership for one of the mags at the moment. ;-)

Hi, welcome to the Forum
Cool you write for car mags.
The 80s cars are beginning to come into their own in the car scene.

That's rather surprising, especially considering the UK's membership in the European Union.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the GT. I was so happy when I found my 88GT T top as hard as it was to find. I can not imagine finding one over seas.
Your GT looks great and I also like the no wing look, even though I kept mine.

I was born in Ruiclip England, military brat. My mom is full English, born in Cleathropes (? spelling ?).

Can you post pictures of the VW Split Ambulance ?

The UK never gave up the old measurements...although we buy petrol by the litre we still talk of MPG....but distances and MPH are pretty much 'old school'.

Thank you for the picture Andy. I was wondering what a "split ambulance" was. Split windshield I see. I remember the split rear VW bug, beetle windows. And the ones with semaphore turn signals.

I had a 1965 VW beetle 'baja bug'. You might be surprised what a VW van is going for now.



US $20,995.00.



US $29,995.00

This is just a online picture. I could not find a current sale. They go in excess of $100,000.00.

Not on faceache no. I do have pics but difficult enough to post text on PFF from a phone (my only interweb access) ...pics no chance. :-) We used to have a UK club but I kind of gave that up when I got rid of the PC! There is a faceache group I think.

Not at all. Sorry, Just trying to think what to say...and working and time zones in the way... ;-) I've only done about 30 miles in her yet. I guess it looks more European than most Yank cars in the UK. American cars are often seen as poorly built and with handling to match, but the surprise comes when they find it is mid engined and has a space frame with plastic panels. The previous owner of mine has deleted out the rear PONTIAC illuminated badge and had the name taken off the headlight cover...So it leaves many heads to scratch...

Obviously not.

Click on EDIT of this post and compare how I linked to your image and how you linked to the same image. You'll notice that you've included a whole mess of extraneous text.

OK fair enough.

I'm sure if they see a Pontiac badge that would point them to the right direction. But what I meant is, I don't think the car is recognizable to the average joe. Is it to auto enthusiasts? And for those who don't know what it is, what they figure it is? I'm in the continent and a guy I spoke to who has a Fiero in Germany said lots of people ask him if it's Italian and even if it's some sort of Ferrari. His is bright red though. So I was just wondering what English people take a Fiero for on the streets. Just out of curiosity.

The question can be for any Fiero owners in the UK or Ireland.

I'm sure if they see a Pontiac badge that would point them to the right direction. But what I meant is, I don't think the car is recognizable to the average joe. Is it to auto enthusiasts? And for those who don't know what it is, what they figure it is? I'm in the continent and a guy I spoke to who has a Fiero in Germany said lots of people ask him if it's Italian and even if it's some sort of Ferrari. His is bright red though.

No. I have an 87/88 coupe front bumper. In the indicator recesses I have clear lense running lights and ticken tockens.

As you mentioned high level brake light doubles up as a fog light.
