(2500cc straight six)
(1974)
dark blue / black
10/ 10 driving experience
triumph's 6-cylinder, 2. 5 litre 'junior e-type'
ready to go !!!
-------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------
after the shortcomings of the poor handling mk1, the mk2 was a far superior proposition and a great drivers car with its silky smooth six-cylinder, long-legged overdrive then after a short run the ultimate development was launched the mk3.
and in the u. s. a they made the ultimate version in the gt6+
and to make this one even better with overdrive...
this gt6+ was restored by a previous owner and is in very good condition.
(whom is very well known in gt6 and morgan circles)
in his 33 year ownership he has lovingly owned, used, raced and restored this car.
this car comes with a hand written, dated and milage recorded folder documenting the restoration work which is accompanied with over 20 years of m. o. t's including a recent test with ran out only 2 months ago.
this car has been m. o. t'd every year for the past 12 years (although exempt)
and has had 0 advisories in this time
a superb and well loved 'drivers' car thats ready to be enjoyed daily.
the car drives very well and i have been using it regularly as my current daily driver.
the body is extremely solid throughout - quite remarkable to be honest.
also the bonnet is steel ! not a fiberglass replica !
interior wise it's been completely restored, stunning seats, new matching cloverdale carpets throughout with beautiful new wood on the dash area as you can see
inside is delightful with all instruments working exactly as they should
accompanied with a fully working and non leaking webasto roof and visor
stunning
to put it simply this car puts a smile on yourself and everyone she passes on the road.
rcx 770m gets a lot of attention from everybody and is constantly being asked for photos to be taken of her.
also comes with a set of 'rare as hen's teeth' gt6+ bonnet and boot badge set from u. s. a
-------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------
we all know the prices of gt6's are now getting astronomical.
- especially a gt6+ ! a super rare unseen on uk shores example
this is by no means concourse example - ideally to get it into that top bracket tier
it wants a full repaint, it has as various small marks mostly on the bonnet and one larger one pictured near the petrol cap
but no rust so no worries and simple... it's just not the most professional job and and in my humble opinion adding a set of 'banded' steel wheels would really look the part...
if the car doesn't find a new owner i will happy keep it and at some point 'finish'
it off with a respray and possibly add a twin tailpipe exhaust just for appearance
but as you can see it already really does look the part & certainly drives exactly as a gt6 should.......... and then some...... +
in the flesh this is clearly a well loved and looked after classic
-------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------
all in all if you want a super reliable proper classic british sportscar
that looks - sounds and drives devine but is not at a crazy price then look no further.
this car will happily take you to any length and breadth of the uk.
it is simply superb and ready to be driven away and used daily !!!!!!
a real drivers car.

the triumph gt6 production ran from 1966 to 1973.
in early 1963 giovanni michelotti was commissioned by standard-triumph to design a gt version of their recently introduced spitfire 4, also designed by michelotti. An unmodified spitfire 4 was delivered to michelotti's design studios in italy and late in 1963 the prototype spitfire gt4 was returned to england for evaluation. The styling of the vehicle was a success but the extra weight of the gt bodyshell resulted in extremely poor performance from the spitfire's 1, 147 cc power unit, and plans for producing the spitfire gt4 were shelved.
to overcome the lack of performance inherent in the heavier body style the spitfire's 4-cylinder engine was replaced with the more powerful 1998 cc 6-cylinder engine from the triumph vitesse.
the car was further developed and refined and eventually launched as the triumph gt6
the ultimate example being the gt6+ with overdrive
