Equipment
Sumitomo tires, dual mirrors, wood shift knob, factory BL radio but newer speakers in the back.
Condition
Final year GT6. Well and fully restored underneath. A tiny bit of orange peel under the headlights but mostly very good paint and chrome. The rear vents don't quite fit flush. Slightly uneven gaps. Very good, mostly restored interior. Fully taken apart and restored, more than the usual treatment a vintage Triumph gets. Not perfect, but more than good enough standards for what it is and this is still the best GT6 I've seen in person.
Market commentary
The final third series GT6 has a flatter and less elegant tail arrangement than the earlier car but still has that 'poor man's E-Type' look to it overall as well as handling improvements over the first cars. GT6s have also always been a good value in that they've long been priced similarly to an MGB GT despite being rarer, quicker and more attractive. That's starting to change, however, and prices for good ones have been creeping up. This is generous money, but you'd be hard-pressed to find a better one and this transaction may just be slightly ahead of the curve. And if it is generous it is generous by what? $2,500-$5,000? It is the best, or the best's equivalent.
