Seller’s description
1972 TRIUMPH GT6 MK3

Another car that sadly has to leave the collection for space. A sad sight. I bought this car awhile back in hopes of having a nice Sunday/blast around car that you don’t see everyday. A mini cooper sized 6 cylinder machine.

When I bought it, I got it running, driving and stopping. I had motivation to keep the ball rolling for a full resto, but time and other projects got in the way so this has to go.

What’s new:
New upholstered interior
New fuel filter
New battery
New fluids all around

What’s needed:
Someone who’s got a Sundays worth of time to work with the fueling/ carburetor tuning, and it bogs out over 2400 RPM.
It starts with starting fluid, but once it gets going, there’s no stopping it.
It’s rough around the edges, a simple PDR is wanted.

I have nothing to hide, this car is from 1972, so please save the smart remarks for your ugly neighbor.

Located in 11706.
