This 1969 Triumph GT6+ was purchased by the seller in 2009 and subsequently has undergone refurbishment work that involved repainting the body in Signal Red, replating chrome parts, powdercoating the intake and exhaust manifolds, lowering the rear suspension, installing Koni shocks and Dynamat insulation, and replacing the dashboard, steering wheel, wiring harness, and Rotoflex couplings. Power is supplied by a 1,998cc inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive. Features include dual Zenith-Stromberg carburetors, PerTronix electronic ignition, an auxiliary electric cooling fan, 13″ wire wheels, front disc brakes, and Amco bumper-overrider bars as well as black vinyl upholstery, a woodgrain dashboard, a push-button AM/FM radio, and a rear seat. This GT6+ is now offered with a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate, service records, workshop manuals, Triumph-related books, spare parts, a tool kit, and a New Jersey title in the seller’s spouse’s name.
Finished from the factory in Signal Red (32), the vehicle was repainted under current ownership following replacement of a door and a fender with unused Stanpart components imported from the United Kingdom, according to the seller. The front and rear bumpers are fitted with Amco overrider bars; these bars and the front bumper were rechromed under current ownership, as were the fuel-filler cap and the trim around the quarter windows. The side-marker lights have been deleted, and the radio antenna was relocated to the roof.
The car is equipped with Lucas Le Mans headlamps, chrome trim on the lower body sills, and quad exhaust outlets that are angled beneath the rear license plate. The windshield and the doorsill seals have been replaced. The seller notes an area of cracked paint on the hood near the driver-side bulkhead.
Silver-painted 13″ wire wheels with knockoff hubs are mounted with Kumho Steel Belted Radial 771 tires measuring 155R13, which the seller recommends replacing due to age. Front disc and rear drum brakes were standard equipment along with rack-and-pinion steering. The rear suspension is fitted with ¾” lowering blocks. Solid front-sway-bar mounts have been installed, and adjustable Koni shocks are positioned at each corner.
The cockpit features front bucket seats and a removable rear seat upholstered in black vinyl. Additional equipment includes a British Leyland–branded AM/FM push-button radio, three-point front seatbelts, a cabin heater, and black carpeting. The seller applied Dynamat insulation.
The dashboard and its wood fascia have been replaced under current ownership, as has the steering wheel. The 140-mph speedometer and the tachometer also were replaced by the seller, who added gauges for vacuum pressure and cylinder-head temperature to the right of the shifter. The previously installed odometer is said to have shown 58k miles; the current odometer shows just over 100 miles. Nearly 1k miles have been driven under current ownership, and true mileage is unknown.
The 1,998cc inline-six was factory rated at 95 horsepower and 116 lb-ft of torque. The intake and exhaust manifolds were powdercoated under current ownership. The engine is fitted with dual Zenith-Stromberg carburetors. PerTronix electronic ignition, an auxiliary electric cooling fan, a replacement wiring harness, a brass adaptor for the heater valve, and gas hood supports were added by the seller.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive. A drain plug was added to the differential under current ownership. Other work included replacement of the rear-end bearings and seals, the Rotoflex couplings, and the bushings for the shifter and the steering shaft. The seller notes that the clutch and brake systems utilize DOT5 fluid.
Workshop manuals and Triumph-related books will accompany the vehicle along with service records and a tool kit.
The British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate lists the factory serial numbers, colors, and equipment. The document also indicates that the car was built on December 18, 1968, and soon after was dispatched to Los Angeles for distribution in the United States.
The New Jersey title notes “Replacement” in the Type of Title field.
