Seller's comments about 1972' Triumph GT6

Auction: Wed 21st May from 9am
Location: St John's Rd, Buxton SK17 6BE1972 Triumph GT6 MkIII
Estimate
£14, 000 - £16, 000
Registration No: LGC 709K
Chassis No: KE123240
MOT: Exempt
Extensive history file including Invoices, MOTs, current V5C document and a BMIHT Certificate
Offered from long-term ownership
Subject to recent interior re-trim
Older restoration which was carried out by Sportscar Supplies
To counter the Austin-Healey Sprite budget sports from their then arch-rivals BMC, Triumph rushed out the Spitfire, which was essentially an open 2-seater version of the Herald saloon, employing the same 1147cc engine, chassis and swing-axle rear suspension. Styled by Michelotti, the Spitfire MkI to V was made from 1962 to 1980. Pitched against the MGB GT, a 1998cc 6-cylinder Vitesse engined Spitfire with Fixed Head Fastback Coupe body, the GT6 MkI, was offered 1966-1968. The 1968-1970 GT6 MkII had improved rear suspension and higher MkIII Spitfire bumpers, whilst the improved 1970-1973 GT6 MkIII with Spitfire MkIV styling ended the line. Once considered the ‘poor man’s E-Type Jaguar’, this gutsy Triumph GT is now very much sought after by collectors with values on the rise as a consequence.
