    Referring to in Australia domestic market? Not sure if there was much difference...I do have a later model which has furry back seats as opposed to matt cotton ones i typically see...but maybe that was an just an optional extra.

    GTV is the sports version has a faster steering rack.

    Zenki (early model) pre 85? Have t series drum brakes, no power steering
    Kouki 86-87? T series with disk rear brakes

    Gt apex option model pwr steer, electric mirrors/Windows etc.

    ADM have s series diff

    All this has been covered many times before

    There was also a handfull of Aus delivered GTVs
    MOPAR or no car!

    In australia you have the stock ae86, the optional extra electric sun-roof and then also the optional air con.

    Anyone know of anything else?

    I have seen some ADM 86's with "sprinter" decals and stripes down the side of the car...
    Got no idea why..... Toyota or dealership thing I guess?

    Was there a slight difference in suspension stiffness or characteristivs between GTV and GT-Apex, cant remember reading that somewhere or not.

    OP there are also quite a few cosmetic differences, tail-lights, front bar and indicators, front grille, between early and late models.

    I think its an 85 if i remember...its got an s-series diff, 4ac. Condition is good imo but thats just a coincidence. interior trim is slightly different from all the 83' i've seen...maybe the last of the zenki's. I would say we got all zenki's in oz based on the front bumper bar and no updated clutch slave master.

    Just a correction to the above that trimmings (GT, GTV & GTAPEX) are independent of manufacturer dates so available to both zenki/kouki production dates...with the exception of black limited.

    Sam: Optional towbar? Normally toyota offers these using a 3rd party and the towbars i've seen all seem the same...prob ARB. I've also got a hatch with a rubber mould at the edge which i haven't seen before.
