Triumph GT6

The Triumph GT6

The Triumph GT6 was a small sports coupe based on the popular Triumph Spitfire. What distinguished the GT6 from its open-top sibling was its sleek fastback design, which gave it the nickname 'the poor man's E-Type'. Sold from 1966 to 1973, the GT6 was admired for its combination of style and performance, thanks to its 2.0-litre straight-six engine. It was essentially a more affordable sports car that could still offer a spirited driving experience.

The GT6 attracted buyers who were looking for a stylish and reasonably priced sports car. It was especially appealing to younger car enthusiasts who aspired to own a sophisticated vehicle that could deliver both on looks and performance. Over its production run, approximately 40,000 units were sold, indicating its popularity amongst a wide range of consumers. Despite not being as commercially successful as some of its competitors, the GT6 carved out a niche for itself among British sports car aficionados.

While the Triumph GT6 wasn't a sales phenomenon in its time, it has since gained a devoted following and is now appreciated as a classic piece of British automotive history. Its distinctive design and relative rarity have contributed to a cult following. As a result, well-maintained examples of the GT6 are now prized by collectors and are a regular sight at classic car shows, embodying the spirit of 1960s and 70s British car design.
