We have for sale this wonderful 1969 Triumph GT6 Mark 2. In our opinion, the prettiest of GT6 models, but crucially the Mk2 addressed the handling shortcomings of the earlier Mk1 by adopting a revised rear suspension setup with Rotoflex couplings, making the car far more stable and confidence inspiring to drive, while subtle exterior updates and interior refinements enhanced its usability, resulting in a compact, characterful 1960s grand tourer that strikes an excellent balance between performance, looks, and drivability.
This Triumph GT6 was purchased from a deceased estate, and it doesn’t take long to see just how much it meant to its previous owner. It’s had just three keepers in total, with the second owner retaining the car from 1971 through to January 2026, something that is very rarely seen. It is a well-known example within classic circles, including the Triumph Sports Six Club, and has clearly been enjoyed and shown over the years. Now ready for its next chapter, it offers a great opportunity for a new owner to continue its story.
The car benefits from a full body restoration carried out between 2024 and April 2025 by Barkston Refinishing in Nottinghamshire, with over £29,000 invested. Importantly, it has been finished in its original Jasmine Yellow, a colour that suits the car perfectly. The restoration was completed to a high standard, with the car stripped down and each panel carefully inspected and repaired where required, ensuring any corrosion was properly addressed.
Mechanically, the car was treated to a comprehensive engine rebuild in 2017 by RH Classics in Melton Mowbray, with over £4,500 spent. The engine was fully stripped, cleaned and rebuilt, including work to both the bottom end and top end with new components where required. Reassembled with new seals throughout, the engine was then correctly set up, tuned and road tested, and has proven to be strong and reliable in use.
The history file is a real highlight and supports the car beautifully. Alongside invoices for the restoration and engine work, the car retains its original buff log book, order form, handbook and service book, items that are increasingly hard to find together. Also included is a heritage certificate, a collection of MOT certificates and invoices, as well as a copy of the September 2019 issue of Classic Cars magazine, featuring a four page GT6 buying guide in which this very car appears.
A genuine, well documented and properly sorted example, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a GT6 with both strong provenance and usability.
