Other Other spotted in Tasman, New Zealand

Details on This Other Other:

  • Location
    Tasman, New Zealand
  • Description
    1973 Triumph GT6...even in an English-influenced environment like our own these are a bit of a rarity. In fact a workmate of my father had one and took us for a good burn when I was about 14, and often when talking about it people didn't know this model and thought I was getting confused with the TR series. This example is a 2-litre model, however I'm sure some of them came with the 2.5 litre straight 6 and electric o/d. Parked across the road from a job I'm on so snuck across for a closer look.

Nice finds! I love seeing classic cars on the road.
Hepclover, if your dad is actually seriously thinking about buying one, tell him to get one. There are only roughy 1500 left in the world, from the original 40,000+ that were produced. So it is a really rare collectors item!

You'll occasionally see a couple out on club days with other Triumphs, I guess they still pop up for sale.
On a similar note, I went to a private autoparts suppliers today looking for a filter element for one of our bikes, and parked in the workshop was a Lotus 7 ex-Japan which had been rebuilt, and a 63 Corvette convertible. I'll have to wait for them to get on the road before submitting pix I guess.

I spotted one a couple of weeks ago, but the one I saw was a 1966 Triumph GT6, and it was one of the first ones to roll off the production line!
