I restore vintage German cars for a living, but this is my first Triumph. I had no prior knowledge of this car, but when I saw it, I knew it was too cool to pass up. Its all original and 99.9% COMPLETE. It was purchased from the original owner. I see no signs of any prior accidents or body work. Paint seems to be original but it peeling throughout. Small dent/ding 2-3 inches on rear right panel. The only real rust I have seen is that the battery box tray is gone, and there are 4-5 dime size holes on an edge or two of the floor pan. Pushing hard around these areas it is solid. I have removed the seats to show the pan. Much of the original pan still is painted in the original Signal Red. There is a lot of surface rust in the pictures, but it is just that, and seems very solid. All of the chrome and lights are there and intact.. nothing looks damaged or cracked. Chrome should look like new after polished. Comes with two sets of wheels and a spare. One set of spoke wheels that need re chromed but look like great resto candidates. The other set is on the car. Looks to be original tools, orange jack, etc that are included in the auction as well. The front seats are excellent. I have not attempted to clean them yet, but they should look great. They were nice enough I was not going to re upholster them as there is only one seam 2-3 inches long that shows and wear. Original wood dash has the clear peelings, but I can see the wood underneath and it looks perfect and uncracked. Looks to have all the original knobs etc. Much of my knowledge was gained by some great people on the Triumph forum. My original plan was to do a frame off restoration and keep this car for myself as it was very original, but I have had some other projects come up that are in my area of expertise that I can not pass up. Sadly this must go. I learned that this GT6 is finished in Signal Red, and has a manual transmission without OD. Everything else seems to be very original including the plastic bottles in the engine compartment. What I know is missing is the master brake cylinder. I just had the generator and starter professional rebuilt electrically / mechanically / cosmetically inside and out. The motor did turn over and run, but after sitting inside for awhile appears to be stuck. I am not sure why, but I am sure there is a good chance it can be broke free. I have a new belt, spark plugs, oil filter, plug wires, cap, coil, and many more items. The oil was changed recently and looked great. With the valve cover off everything looks nice and clean.

This is a great chance to get in to a very original unmolested GT6. Thanks
