This Triumph GT6 MkIII is a fine example of the classic sporting coupe, which has benefitted from an earlier bodywork restoration. It is powered by the 2.0-litre overhead valve straight-six, which drives the rear wheels via a four-speed synchromesh manual transmission with overdrive. The odometer shows 97,695 miles. Originally a UK-market example, this GT6 was later exported to Australia, and is now located in Queensland. The car underwent a major service in June 2022, when a number of new and recommissioned parts were fitted. The MkIII GT6 boasts revised bodywork mirroring the design of the Spitfire Mk IV, which included a cut-off rear end, recessed door handles, and smoother front quarters. This example features handsome resprayed Pimento Red paintwork, a black vinyl-trimmed interior with headrests, and handsome burr walnut veneer trim on the dashboard. It rides on a set of 13-inch steel wheels with polished trim rings and centres, fitted with Dunlop SP Sport tyres. The car has been fitted with non-standard louvred vents on its front wings which the seller notes are custom-made. The vehicle will be accompanied by an original owner’s manual, along with a selection of maintenance receipts, photographs, two keys, and the original tool kit which includes the jack. The Pimento Red paintwork has been resprayed and is described by the seller as being in excellent condition, showing light minor wear such as tiny stone chips on the front end, and some general light hazing from washing. Inside, the cabin presents well, with some creasing and light wear on the black vinyl-trimmed seats, with more present on the driver’s seat which the seller notes is losing its shape slightly from use. Elsewhere, there is light wear on the carpets, and a minor patination of careful use on the driver controls, but there is no major wear or heavy discolouration present. The seller notes that the rear demister switch is not working, but is not aware of any further electrical or mechanical faults with the car. This GT6’s latest service was carried out in June 2022 at 96,593 miles by Greg Tunstall Mechanical. The work comprised of an engine oil and filter change, along with an inspection and the replacement of the ignition coil, fuel pump, and speedometer seals, as well as the reconditioning of the carburettors, front brakes, reverse light, rear brakes, steering rack, and a re-packing of the front wheel bearings with grease. Prior to this, the car was serviced at 89,067 miles by Albert Johnson Restoration in Sydney, which was a full service. This Triumph GT6 MKIII is a smart example of the classic coupe, which has benefitted from an earlier paintwork restoration in its original period-correct colour scheme. Offered in very good cosmetic and mechanical order throughout, it is ready to be driven, and should make a head-turning and engaging companion for weekend drives on its new owner’s favourite roads.
