1971 Triumph GT6 Chassis 1KE136OLDL French registration - Same owner for 19 years - Rare car The GT6 is Triumph's answer to the MG B. Based on the Spitfire, the bodywork redesigned by Giovanni Michelotti became an elegant hatchback fastback that earned the GT6 the nickname of "the poor man's E-type". That said, it's not necessarily a bad thing to be compared to an E-type! The engine is a 2-liter in-line 6-cylinder delivering 104 hp and a top speed of 190 km/h. A relatively wise, quirky and plush GT with a real sporting personality, it is now becoming a must-have in any collection, and a very affordable one at that. The GT6 was produced from 1966 to 1973, in 3 series, Mark1 to Mark3. The magnificent GT6 we are pleased to present is a Mark3, the most accomplished version of the model. Restored (restoration file on request), this car is second-hand and has belonged to the same owner for 19 years. A rare and sympathetic coupe, the Gt6 is a fine alternative to the traditional Mgb GT. 1971 Triumph GT6 Chassis 1KE136OLDL French registration - Same owner for 19 years - Rare car The GT6 was Triumph's answer to the MG B.
