Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1972 Triumph GT6 Mk III is a project car that has already undergone significant work including a bare metal respray and engine rebuild. It's a 4-speed manual with an aftermarket sunroof, ready for the next stage of restoration, with decent models fetching over £15,000.
Condition

The car is described as a 'project' and a 'fascinating mid-way project car'.

The odometer reading is unwarranted, and only certain components (doors, bumpers, brightwork) are confirmed to be supplied. This indicates a significant amount of reconditioning is still needed.

III addressed many of the criticisms of its predecessors, particularly the handling issues found in the Mk
I. Unlike early swing-axle models, the Mk
III utilised a revised rear suspension (rotoflex coupling followed by a simpler swing-spring setup in late 1973) for more predictable cornering. The front and rear were restyled to match the Spitfire Mk
IV, featuring a 'cut-off' Kamm tail for better aerodynamics. Later Mk
