1972 Triumph GT6 MkIII PI, for sale

Right, some of this has been previously posted elsewhere, so here it is, much reproduced.

I brought this GT6 back in 2006, with the intention to get it back on the road quite quickly and use it. Soon after getting it back, someone suggested that these six cylinder engined small chassis Triumphs handle a lot better with the engine moved back six inches. Since then the body has been all the way off and the chassis modified to take the engine in the new position.

In the mean time the rear driveshafts have been converted from the rotoflex system to the Jones/Bowler CV setup. Up front, induction is by Lucas mechanical injection and the exhaust system custom made, to a Gareth Thomas design.

Back together part way through for a trial fit




Chassis mods were not too bad, spent a long time on it though, I only had one chassis to work on.
The two main areas were 1) around the bellhousing, needed the lip taken off and pushed in slightly and 2) around the back of the gearbox, where I chose to extend the shape of the original gearbox cut out backwards, the rear mount is sat on that block which goes between the two main chassis rails.
When I did these chassis mods, I did not have any form of exhaust system in place, so consideration of how to run the pipes through was not made, this has caused a few headaches in the fitting of my system.
