About this car

The GT6 Mk3 was the final and most refined version of Triumph's six-cylinder fastback coupe, often nicknamed the baby E-type for its similar side profile. This 1973 car has a 2.0-litre straight-six and an overdrive gearbox driving the rear wheels.

It has been through a body-off restoration, though an older one, and is finished in Aston Martin Silver Birch, a non-standard colour for the model. Inside is full blue leather piped in grey. The odometer shows 5,800 miles and the car has had six previous owners.

The dealer reports good panel gaps, no rust and sound brightwork. Brake lines, hoses and suspension bushes appear to have been replaced, and the engine bay has an alternator and a brake servo. The car has had a health check and service. It also has an MOT, although at this age it is exempt.
