Description
1970 Triumph GT6 Mk2 finished in its factory colour of Signal Red and presented today as a superb example of this desirable six cylinder sporting coupe. This is a UK supplied right hand drive car manufactured in November 1970 and originally specified from new with overdrive, a sought after feature that enhances both drivability and touring ability.The car was discovered in barn stored condition in 1998 and subsequently treated to a comprehensive restoration carried out over an eight year period. The work was completed with the body separated from the chassis, allowing every major component to be addressed in detail. As part of this programme the chassis and bodywork were fully restored while the engine and gearbox were rebuilt. The suspension and braking systems were also renewed, ensuring the car delivers the responsive and engaging driving experience for which the Triumph GT6 is well known.Further sympathetic upgrades have been incorporated to improve usability and reliability without detracting from the cars classic character. These include electronic ignition, an oil pressure gauge, spin on oil filter conversion, battery isolator, USB charging sockets and an intermittent wiper function. Together these enhancements make the car easier to live with in modern conditions while retaining the originality and charm expected of a classic British sports car.The Triumph GT6 Mk2 is often regarded as one of the most rewarding classic coupes to drive, offering smooth six cylinder performance combined with compact dimensions and timeless Michelotti styling. This restored UK supplied example represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a well sorted and attractive GT6 ready to be enjoyed. Supplied by Classicwise with service preparation prior to sale to ensure confidence for its next custodian.Book a viewing today. Our coffee pot is always hot!.

About CLASSICWISE LTD
The Classicwise Collection is a company formed by Sam Fretwell after he became unable to continue in his employment as a result of injuries sustained as the innocent party in a near fatal road accident in May 2012. Sam has grown up around classic cars and knows all about them as his father used to import rust-free European sports cars from California USA and also built up a successful Porsche 911 sales and service business in the 1990’s. Since leaving school in 2007 Sam worked for the family business Weonlymot.co.uk, initially on reception at the various branches, but then became one of the youngest people ever to become an authorised MOT tester, and then by the end of 2011 was promoted to Branch Development Manager. He had identified, equipped and just opened his first new weonlymot.co.uk branch in Grimsby and was on his way back from there to the Ollerton head office when he involved in the horrific accident. Calling upon his father’s experience in addition to that already amassed himself, Sam’s intention is to establish himself and his company in the classic car business offering initially classic car service and repair, alongside vehicle sales & brokerage. He hopes to be able to offer classic car storage and enclosed transportation as the business develops at Bypass Garage Epperstone. The Classicwise Collection are always interested in any classic vehicle from the early 1900’s to the 1990’s. The images to the right were taken in December 1997 the little chap is Sam. The late twice Le Mans Race winning team boss Tom Walkinshaw pictured taking delivery of his fully restored and upgraded ‘rubber-bumpered’ MGB from Sam’s father. Mr Walkinshaw had purchased this for his own father in law’s 70th birthday.
