The Triumph GT6 is a six cylinder Sports coupe based on the Triumph Spitfire convertible

The TR6 was introduced in 1966 as a sleek fastback design with an opening rear hatch. It was a 2-seater, but a small extra rear seat could be ordered if required and was large enough for small children. The family resemblance to the Spitfire Mk II was strong, the longer 6-cylinder engine necessitated a new bonnet top with a power bulge and the doors were provided with opening quarter light windows and squared-off glass in the top rear corner.

Handling problems had dogged the first GT6s, so in 1969 a version with improved rear suspension was released. Amongst the other changes: the front bumper was raised to conform to new crash regulations, necessitating a revised front end, and side vents were added to the front wings and rear pillars

The final major facelift for the GT6 came in 1970 in the form of the Mk III. This time the entire bodyshell was revised to match the changes made to the Spitfire Mk IV: modifications included a cut-off rear end, recessed door handles and a smoother front end.
