2000 GT / 2300 GT by 6cyl hood while a 3000 GT would have a red digit background on wing badge Link to "www.alt-ford-freunde.de"[gallery]/3/ https://car-from-uk.com/sale.php?id=1885 the initial 2000 was augmented by the 2300 at the end of 1969 |

^ 2000 GT did not have bulge on UK cars but I'm not sure about D production (which was a different 2-litre engine from the German family). My understanding is that bulge on D-build GT means 2300 or 2600 (or a 3000 which was built in D in small numbers late on). |

Yes, the german 2000 GT had a bulge for the sixcyl which is the same as in Taunus 2.0 i drove in 1990, i think its origins are of 20M https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/00/Ford_Capri_2000_GT_MkI.jpg The reason for having no bulge is indeed the Essex V4 engine 2.0 L (British built) while the german initial top model had the Cologne V6 2.0 L https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Cologne_V6_engine#2.6 the 2.6 did not came before 1970 |
