Yes but in some of the shots it actually had GTE decals as well, if you can see the video just before the crash the GSi decal changes to GTE.

Sorry mate
You're wrong. Look at the two pics i said were mk 1's.
The grill and bumpers on MK1s have a proud part in the middle of them whereas the MK2's dont.

Oh yeah, I got the pics from Andy Bishops site.
Just realised that they MUST have switched the cars, the GSi was kept and obviously they got a Mk1 replica and crashed that instead.
