1967 Triumph GT6 Mkl 2.5 PI - $36,900
This car has been comprehensively rebuilt for multiple uses. As a country cruising car, as a competition car and as a club car.
Acquired by the current owner almost twenty years ago, a six year restoration was completed in 2012.
For the comfort angle, the car would be fitted with later type GT6 seats with headrests, trimmed in cream leather. The rest of the interior was trimmed and carpeted to match, with “Jaguar” carpets. Beneath is sound deadening material.
The owner’s intention was to create a car his wife could drive and which could also be used in club level motorsport events. Thus, a more powerful version of the Triumph 6-cylinder unit was built-up for the car. At 2.5 litres, with fuel injection the car’s power output is 130bhp. A stronger gearbox from a Triumph sedan is fitted, with electric overdrive.
Some $40,000 was spent on the build and when finished, the car began appearing at club events. At the Triumph Nationals, it was voted runner-up in the People’s Choice award. Upgrades to the suspension and brakes while refining the car for events saw an additional $12,000 spent.
The result is a potent, predictable sporty coupe which has competed in Albany Round the Houses events, track days at Wanneroo raceway with the VSCC and competed in motorkhanas with the Triumph club. The GT6 has attended Triumph Nationals in 2014, 2018 and 2024. It’s won several trophies…
There’s a Heritage Certificate with this car. The selling dealer was Premier Motors in Perth, WA state distributor for Triumph.
The rebuild was completed some years ago now and there’s the odd chip and blister, but overall it still presents very well. The GT6 drives very well, as one might expect after such a sorting campaign.
If the car sells to a Western Australian buyer the number plates GT6 will be available for $1000, otherwise standard issue plates will be provided.
The owner advises that the car has been very reliable and is keen to point out that it has no oil leaks and never runs hot. On the road it quickly becomes evident that while the car offers plenty of grunt, it can be docile and easy to use in traffic. It’s ready for use as a weekend fun car or in club motorsports.
