1972 Triumph GT6 40346 Miles White Coupe 6-Cylinder 5-Speed Manual

GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1972 Triumph GT6 Mark III 2-door Fastback for purchase. The GT6 is a 6-cylinder sports coupe that was built by Standard-Triumph and based on their popular Triumph Spitfire convertible from 1966-1973. In early 1963, Standard-Triumph commissioned Giovanni Michelotti (notable for designing many models including several for Ferrari & Maserati) to design a GT version of the new Spitfire line. The fastback design was too heavy for the 1147cc output and the model was shelved. However, the prototype was adopted by the Triumph racing program and its aerodynamics resulted in great success (1st in class at 24-hour Lemans). After re-evaluation the GT6 was born with the Michelotti designed body and the more powerful 6 cylinder Triumph Vitesse engine with a marketing campaign to talk about the racing success.
This GT6 is equipped with a 2.0L OHV inline 6 cylinder with a 4 speed manual transmission. The car was restored 7 years ago and remains in great condition. The GT6 rides on 13 inch wire wheels. Cosmetically, this car shows very well both inside and out.
Don't confuse these cars' performance with the 4 cylinder Spitfire. These cars have a very reliable inline six with dual carburetors that is a lot of fun to drive. It's a great driving experience with an awesome and very rare body style. Please call or email for more details!
