Substantial history file including Passport to Service with 16 stamps, old MOTs, and Heritage Certificate
Reconditioned overdrive gearbox installed in 2024
Voluntary MOT valid until 31st March 2027
The Appeal
Lauded as a "baby E-Type", the Triumph GT6 is based on the celebrated Spitfire/Herald backbone chassis, clothed in Michelotti fastback bodywork. The Mk3 is the final and most refined evolution of Triumph's sports coupé, with the improved swing-spring rear suspension that transformed the model's handling.
Powered by a 2.0-litre straight-six, a rarity in the small British sports car class, the GT6 offered a more capable and characterful alternative to its Spitfire sibling, and the Mk3 remains the most sought-after of the three iterations.
This 1973 example in Daytona Yellow over a black interior is a UK right-hand-drive car accompanied by a substantial history file. A reconditioned overdrive gearbox was fitted in 2024, and the car also features a Webasto-style sunroof. It has gained a degree of fame, having appeared on the television programme Shed & Buried, and was recently won as a prize in a competition by the current registered keeper.
With a current MOT (voluntary) and zero-rated road tax as a historic vehicle, this GT6 Mk3 is reportedly ready to be driven and enjoyed._88A9686.jpg1.54 MB
