1973 Restored and Improved Triumph GT6 Mk3 For Sale

Any company that produces a ‘Spitfire’ is likely to have a dominant place in British engineering history. Triumph is a widely loved British car manufacturer with several successes in the sports-car sector. Its best not to try and make sense of the different business iterations and owners of the brand over the years, it is a complicated story… It is however worth turning your attention to some of those excellent sports cars that carried the name. The GT6 has one of those unique origin stories in motoring history, and includes an exquisite blend of bespoke Italian styling, motorsport success, and sublime marketing. Giovanni Michelotti created a ‘fastback’ design for the Spitfire ‘GT’ programme back in 1963, but the 4-cylinder engine from the Spitfire struggled to cope with the added weight. However, the improved aerodynamic properties excelled in Motorsport, leading to a first-in-class victory at Le Mans. So, the only thing for it was to increase the engine to 6 cylinders, convince the public they were the same cars that won at Le Mans, and the GT6 was born.

Spec

Completely resprayed in Mallard Green and twinned with 13 inch Superlite wheels, this GT6 Mk3 has had tasteful and necessary modifications throughout the entire car. The interior has been reupholstered and is a timeless combination of black vinyl, leather, and matt lacquered walnut dash. The 2 litre engine has been upgraded to 2. 5 litres, providing a potent noise and performance increase. Mechanical upgrades include Spax suspension, uprated cam and pistons, stage 3 head, improved exhaust manifold and system, Ramflo air filters, and uprated rear differential.

Condition

With 5 owners and estimated 81070 miles, this car has spent much of its life since 1996 being restored, improved, and fettled. In that time, it has covered less than 2000 miles. The car resided with an enthusiast who spent a fortune repairing, replacing, or restoring nearly every individual part on the car. The current owner took ownership once the extensive nut and bolt restoration was complete, and barring a few snagging runs and a trip for an MOT, the car has covered virtually no additional mileage. The gauges were replaced during restoration, and indicate 47726, but mileage history is completely traceable and included in the massive history folder. This is a stunning car in almost ‘as new’ condition, and benefitting from a host of improvements that ensure it offers a drivable classic from a golden era.
