Triumph GT6 Submodels
Often called the "poor man's E-Type," the Triumph GT6 combined the chassis of its Spitfire sibling with a smooth 2.0-liter inline-6 engine from the Vitesse sedan. The result was a stylish fastback coupe with performance that punched above its weight. Early Mk I cars used a swing-axle rear suspension, but the 1968 Mk II introduced a more sophisticated independent rear setup that transformed the car's handling.
Collectors are drawn to the GT6 for its beautiful Giovanni Michelotti design and the refined character of its 6-cylinder engine. It offers a more substantial driving experience than 4-cylinder contemporaries like the MGB GT, and its hatchback layout adds a dose of practicality. The optional Laycock de Normanville overdrive is a highly sought-after feature that makes the car much more capable on modern highways.
The GT6 market remains accessible, with an average sale price just under $20,000 based on 84 recent transactions. While project cars can be found for as little as $2,500, fully restored examples now command prices over $40,000. This wide spread reflects the high cost of restoration and the strong demand for top-quality, well-sorted cars.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the primary enemy. Pay close attention to the sills, floors, rear valance, and frame outriggers. The clamshell bonnet is also prone to rust and is expensive to repair.
- Inspect the rear suspension. Mk I models have a swing-axle design that can produce tricky handling, while the later Rotoflex couplings on Mk II and III cars are a wear item and must be checked for cracks.
- The 6-cylinder engine is known for running hot. Check the entire cooling system for leaks or blockages, and look for signs of a failing head gasket.
- Test the optional overdrive unit if equipped. It should engage and disengage smoothly in 3rd and 4th gear and is a very desirable feature for usability.
Prices range from $2,500 for project cars to $43,000 for top-spec variants.
