Rear badges were unisex (only saying 1300 GT), colour choices (initially only Bronze Yellow, Flame Red or Glacier White) and price (£909/13s/1d) were identical. Apart from all Mk3 GTs in UK being Austin, because we didn't get Mk3 Morris saloons of any type due to Marina's arrival, that's all; some export-only Morris Mk3 GTs were made (markets unknown, but not big numbers), all at Longbridge as Cowley replaced all its ADO16 production with the Marina.
