Description
Now Sold. An opportunity to acquire a super-competitive, full-race Triumph GT6, it is extensively modified and lightened while retaining the original plan and profile. This is a seriously fast Triumph GT6 with multiple outright and class wins over many years of use. Outright wins on Nürburgring Nordschleife, Monza and Brands Hatch. Won CSCC Swinging Sixties Class C three years in a row. This car has a V5 and is fully road legal with indicators, parking brake, washers, dip/ main headlights, horn etc.
This car was initially built as a Birkett special but developed into a very rapid multi-race and class winning car over many years. It is actually a 1967 Mk1 GT6 but with a number of parts from later cars so is not for the purist! It's not a concours racer, but it never has been; what it is, is very quick and very easy to drive fast. Videos of this well-known car have over 40, 000 YouTube hits combined.
