1989 GTU from Finland, 1 of 2?

[iroc-z]

Hello everyone! I've been visiting this site sometimes before,but now I decided to register..

My Beretta is bone stock white GTU w/ 5spd , red interior. It was registered in June '90 by Metro-Auto (major importer back in early 90's) and owned for five years. First it was used sort of "showroom-car" and after that it was some secretery's ride..

Bought it -09 for an daily driver and it's been great for that! Good mileage, enough space for couple of kids seats and trunk swallow the strollers And after all,it looks GREAT!
There's over 240k kilometers in and still pulling strong. Haven't had lot of problems, only thing i've changed is the alternator.. there was -26c (-15f), WOT acc. and all elects came BRIGHT AND STRONG! ..voltage went over 19..

But so far that's the only prob. I've had..

I got some plans for my GTU, but right now my IROC is project #1.. but when that badazz hits the streets again, I'll give attention for beretta.. new paint, new engine, upgrade susp. etc. etc.

Niiiiiiiiiice!!!!! I'm lovin that 3rd brake light in the spoiler!

[olovi]

Yes! Nice Beretta! Welcome to forum!

Hey and welcome, i know that car from 2004 or so...

I was about to buy it in 2006~, actually took a test drive on it, but decided not to buy, since the under body looked that it needed too much attention. I guess it has been done since.

I've also sold few items to that car, like filler panels, since I've changed emails with the previous owner.

Welcome! Very nice GTU. This is a insparation to mine. Mine needs a good paint job and front lip. I wish mine looked that clean. I did not know that there were GTU spoilers that had a longer brake light. I like that look!

Very Nice

Thank you guys! I have to say that it's not that clean how it looks at pics.. there's rust in doors and fenders and front lip needs to be fixed.. 3rd brake light isn't original, don't know where it's taken,but it could fit WAY more better than it does now.
The story tells that only 3 GTU was registered to Finland. White,black and red. Red one is burnt, and black is owned by my friends father i southern Finland. That's why I edited my subject to 1of 2
-I'm not 100% sure about story,but also haven't seen any other GTU's here.

Is that right that you get 8.8 l/100km? That's not bad (about 27 US MPG)

[iroc-z]

That's not correct. At highway I can get 28-29mpg (8.0-8.3) but that pic is taken shortly after reset.. real average is like 25-26mpg (9.2-9.4)
But I think it's still pretty good for 80's 2.8 v6.. to compare, I get 22-23 avg. with our -99 3400 Trans Sport. Of course those are totally different cars,but still.
