Achingly beautiful to this day the Triumph GT6 remains a cracking six-cylinder sports coupé. Poor man’s E-Type? We’re not so sure. Anybody would be proud to own this gorgeous ’72 Mk III, regardless of depth of pocket.
The GT6 is the sort of car Britain excelled at in the 60s and 70s – a diminutive GT that dialled the style and the fun right up to 11.
The MkIII introduced the revised ‘kamm tail’ styling common to the Spitfire, together with updates to the suspension. But the silky, smooth-revving 2L straight six from the Vitesse remained, imbuing the GT6 with the entertaining ‘mini-E-Type’ driving experience that has kept these cars so popular with enthusiasts.

This car has clearly been cherished. Sparingly used by its current keeper, who bought it 2 years ago, it has been treated to ongoing maintenance. This includes a switch to more reliable electronic ignition – plus new dizzy cap – and replacement clutch master cylinder. The front bearings have been adjusted and the wheels aligned. There is also an uprated oil cooler and filter housing.

This is a very tidy carn across the bodywork and interior. It is reported to be reliable, start easily and drive very well. It is MOT-exempt by age but it is a mark of the seller’s transparency that it was tested prior to sale and carries a long certificate through to the end of August 2025. A stand-out example of a very entertaining sports car.
