I've recently fallen head over heels with the Jaguar XJS.

Back when Aston made real cars.

dang... that looks very American Muscle car doesn't it! Forgive my ignorance, but what's the model?

On another note the guy that sometimes looks at my MG is rebuilding one of those GT6s, they have a very flexy chassis and rust worse then the MGBs, he also said they were slow. But they looks so nice and don't cost to much. Go on get one!

Its the 1976 V8 if I'm not mistaken.

The mans GT6

I had the misfortune to drive one yonks ago,I can tell you they is a bag of sh1te & yes the body bends like a twig....

I have always liked the look of the GT6, nicer looking than the Spitfire and mgb-gt if you as me, think it was the wooden dash that attracted them to me.

Did like the idea of the flip front, should make working on the engine/servicing easy.

Whenever you followed one the rear tyres always looked like they were caving in? Not sure why, but it did look a bit odd from behind.

I used to have a Austin Healey Sprite, with a 1275 enging, pleanty enough power to have some fun with without getting into silly speeds 😉

Lets face it, its not the sort of car you want to go raceing aroundin anyway 😉

Rust-tastic though British sports cars from that age, worth getting it checked fully by someone in the know if you do go looking for one.

I even like the colour of that one psychle.

Do they have the overdrive gearbox?

That's awesome Alwyn, love it 🙂

Aparently that white one kicks out 480bph! With a Ford GT40 V8 😛

If you want really big balls its the Austin Healey 3000, with a Chevy 350 supercharger and NOS!

A wopping 1400BPH 😮

As an apprentice I was cyling home when a GT6 overtook me.
I didn't know what it was but I liked it so sped up to catch it in traffic.
I couldn't beleive it when I read "Triumph", I was a Triumph apprentice, for Christ's sake.
These were out of production by a couple of years but I saw the last Spitfire and the last TR7 roll off the lines at Canley( Now a Tescos/Muckdonalds/KFC/warehouse kind of place).
Got a Herald convertible on the garage for restoring if anyone's interested?

Aaaah - I always quite fancied a GT6 myself. Lovely looking cars they are 🙂

What about a REAL man's car, a TR6.

Women are not allowed to drive these by law. No, really.

don't like soft tops really... much prefer GT versions 🙂

I made a convertible GT6. Mostly, the rear of a GT6 sits on the same bolt holes of a Spitty. take rear body shell off, bolt on spitty, hey presto.

Mate had one that was supercharged, good for about 140. Scary mind.

Always remember one that knocked around Henley with a Premature E-Type sticker on the window.

Made me smile

I'm buying one of these tomorrow - thats if i win on tonights lottery:
