Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1973 Triumph GT6 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 1973 GT6 is a really nice survivor that has been very well
maintained and properly stored throughout its lifetime. It's
powered by the original 2.0L 1,998cc inline 6 cylinder engine
paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. The previous owner has
had a lot of work performed including work to the suspension, new
plugs and wires, dual Stromberg carburetors tuned up, crane cams
ignition system, brand new 13 inch wheels and tires and much more.
The car comes with two extra carburetors, car cover, shop manual,
original wheels and hubcaps. This car is an excellent driver and
performs well.
