Hello All. aspiring to be an owner of a GTO/3000GT appreciated these cars from a far for far too long now and Id like to scratch the itch. my current car is also beloved jap scrap. high spec civic running 460hp under a ton which Im looking to sell to now to help fund the best condition GTO/3000GT I can find. and Im well aware the GTO/3000GT will feel slow compared but everything revolving around speed isnt really what Im after anymore. rest assured I will build the GTO/3000GT once ive gotten a feel for the pure driving experience of the retro beast that I so dearly crave. Ive had little to no idea why I wanted one so badly for years now but Im coming up to 30 and I know its heavy I know its slower than what Im used to… But I still want one 
. something I cant quite explain. maybe because I missed the boat passing up a 3000GT VR4 5 years ago for £4,500. what a clanger I know. the decision was to build the civic instead over the VR4. little did I know the prices would start follow suit of the S14s Evo 5/6 Soarers etc and hike from nowhere. It was only a matter of time. these cars went massively under the radar but also so far ahead of their time. appreciation was inevitable! I guess thats my bitter sweet punishment for not buying it when I had the chance, having to fork out a fair bit more for what Im after now. well thats my mini story anyway. Just unhealthily obsessed with these cars. I have seen a fair few now In person at shows, I know a mk1 owner and am Pretty sure to be in favour of a mk1… If I am correct in my research There is no GTO VR4? why didnt japan make a GTO VR4 model. 
Also did the mk1 have a 3000GT VR4 variant in the UK? or just the rest of europe/US ( forgive me if anything ive written isnt accurate) Thanks for reading.
Hi @steven6
Welcome to GTOUK 
One thing - the VR4 is an American term for the top spec car - aka Twin turbo.
The 3000GT is the UK/EU spec and only existed as the twin turbo model - there is no such thing as a 3000GT UK/EU non turbo etc…
The GTO comes as an N/A manual or automatic and also a manual TT.
All GTO imports and 3000GTs from UK are 4 wheel drive.
Good luck in your search
