TRIUMPH SPITFIRE Mk4 (FH) cabriolet, 1973. Serial number: 1 FH 51011 L Registration: 5936 YE 64 First registration: 10/04/1973 Mileage (not guaranteed): 24,732 km Vehicle running in average condition. Normal registration With owner since 2005 Presentation: In response to the Austin Healey Sprite, Triumph launched the Spitfire at the 1962 London Motor Show. Charming and economical, the Spitfire underwent several evolutions until 1980. With almost 300,000 units produced, it became one of the most legendary British roadsters. During the development of the MX-5, several photos testify to the presence of a Triumph Spitfire in Mazda's official convoy (along with the Lotus Elan). The Spitfire's recipe for success: the joy of riding with your hair blowing in the wind, sitting close to the ground, throttle to the floor, with a sturdy engine! Côte Basque Enchères is delighted to offer this 1973 Triumph Spitfire MKIV. The MKIV, which first appeared in 1970, has undergone a major facelift, with a stabilized rear axle for greater safety and versatility. This Triumph is of French origin, and is equipped with OverDrive, making it possible to envisage long journeys or short motorway escapades with peace of mind. In the same hands for almost 20 years, it's in good mechanical working order overall, but the out-of-date tires are in urgent need of replacement. A few shortcomings in the general presentation provide an opportunity for enthusiasts to discover the world of collecting, and to learn about the restoration of a particularly endearing, easy-to-maintain car for which parts are available and affordable. Vehicle from a different owner than the previous ones. Consultant : Ulysse JAMES - Tel: +33(0)7.63.16.31.52

1971 Triumph GT6 Chassis 1KE136OLDL French registration - Same owner for 19 years - Rare car The GT6 is Triumph's answer to the MG B. Based on the Spitfire, the bodywork redesigned by Giovanni Michelotti became an elegant hatchback fastback that earned the GT6 the nickname of "the poor man's E-type". That said, it's not necessarily a bad thing to be compared to an E-type! The engine is a 2-liter in-line 6-cylinder delivering 104 hp and a top speed of 190 km/h. A relatively wise, quirky and plush GT with a real sporting personality, it is now becoming a must-have in any collection, and a very affordable one at that. The GT6 was produced from 1966 to 1973, in 3 series, Mark1 to Mark3. The magnificent GT6 we are pleased to present is a Mark3, the most accomplished version of the model. Restored (restoration file on request), this car is second-hand and has belonged to the same owner for 19 years. A rare and sympathetic coupe, the Gt6 is a fine alternative to the traditional Mgb GT. 1971 Triumph GT6 Chassis 1KE136OLDL French registration - Same owner for 19 years - Rare car The GT6 was Triumph's answer to the MG B.
