Our Take:
- The 1969 Triumph GT6 MKII is celebrated among classic car aficionados for its spirited performance and exceptional design. Sometimes called the "mini E-Type," this beauty packs a six-cylinder engine under its sleek lines, which was quite the upgrade from its Spitfire sibling's four-cylinder. If you're looking for a slice of British motoring history, this one ticks all the boxes.
- This model features a rare factory overdrive transmission, which not only makes it more collectible but also adds a level of drivability that classic car lovers appreciate—better fuel efficiency and a more relaxed cruising experience on the highways. Imagine cruising down a country lane, the engine humming like a contented cat, with the overdrive engaged.
- With all original steel and minimal rust, it’s a dream base for restoration enthusiasts. The GT6 Plus has a straight-six engine that’s known for its powerful but smooth performance. It's like having the soul of a sprinter with the discipline of a marathon runner. And with replacement parts fairly available, bringing this red charmer back to its former glory is more of a pleasure cruise than a grueling rally.
- In 1969, the GT6 MKII (or GT6+) experienced a series of refinements, including improved rear suspension and styling tweaks. These changes not only addressed handling issues but also made the car more attractive and desirable. It's like getting a stylish tweed jacket that's comfortable enough for daily wear.
