The Appeal
The Triumph GT6 MkIII represents the final and most refined evolution of Triumph's "mini E-Type," with its sleek fastback profile creating one of the most striking British cars of its era. It's a formula that continues to sit in a class of its own - irrevocably stylish, irrevocably unique and sitting comfortably in the 'perky and fun' territory that only the British sports car could do best.
This particular 1972 example benefits from thoughtful upgrades that enhance both performance and drivability while maintaining its classic character.

With its upgraded suspension, enhanced braking system, and performance modifications, it's likely to be exactly the GT6 you're looking for.
