This blue Garage: GM car is cataloged as T8325. One photo catalog shortens the code to 8325; the existing release record and full casting checklist retain the T prefix.
Physical Details
The dark blue finish is paired with red-and-blue upper decoration and a small 09 marking. The wheels show red tire rings and silver rim edges. Check both axles: replacement wheels can preserve the body color while removing the feature that identifies this Garage version.

Packaging Details
Package evidence must follow the specific release. A body color, toy number or casting name can occur with more than one regional card. A loose reference does not establish its original card, and the copyright year on the package is not automatically the assortment release year.
The assortment is identified in the release facts above, but this page currently shows the car loose. A complete front-and-reverse package photograph is still needed to authenticate regional card numbers, barcode and factory seal. When buying a packaged specimen, compare its actual wheel faces and decoration with the loose reference before treating it as the same release.
Variation Summary
Choosing one for your collection
Look closely at the thin red tire lines and the small 09 printing near the rear. Photograph both sides; a good-looking side view can hide tire wear on the opposite wheels.
The reference shows one side. Ask for the other side and the underside when condition, base details or wheel originality matter.
Collector questions
Does the blue Garage car use the same wheels as the white one?
No. The blue reference has dark five-spoke wheel centers with bright rims and red tire lines. The white Garage version has disc-style wheels and whitewalls.
