Thought you may like to see the GT6 after some more time spent tidying and I have now done just over 500 miles in it so getting used to throwing it around a bit. I've been to 2 shows in it now and it's holding it's own against other show cars. http://i1172.photobucket.com/albums/r578/garypowell51/IM...

Bang on, I agree Triumph and MG did have a great time in the 70s and 80s and now again for enthusiasts. Simple to work on being mechanically simple and functional and quite reasonable on parts availability and price. Bertie, re when the GT6 will be on the road. I have done all the MOT fails that I c...

MOT time today for the GT6, 9 years since the last one now. Seems like the last owner had a lot of panels replaced but whoever welded them only spot welded them in place so the MOT place has agreed to join the dots and I'm once again sorting out some electrical problems and sorting the passenger doo...

No he hasnt :( they are still in the box in the living room - thinking of putting a plant on the top as they may be there some time :roll: :roll: I think thats shocking Gill.... tut tut :wink: I think some words need to be had, after making some good progress on the GT6 today Gill persuaded me to f...

Been working on the GT6 quite a bit but had to break off for an urgent job on the Z3, I noticed from the time of purchase there was some damp in the boot but thought it was minimal. Well after a couple of weeks of Cumbria weather I was left with two options. Option one, purchase some Koi and pretend...

I'm lucky enough to be working alongside a guy with all the test and inspect quals, it has blown the roof off doing odd jobs which really is a good get out when you don't want to do them. As yet I've not yet driven the GT6 but I do believe the rear end skits when going light on one side cornering h...

I'm based in Cumbria on the outskirts of Barrow in Furness. will be doing a good few miles around the Lake District in the Z3, I must get round to seeing if my paragliding wing will fit in the boot next actually, something I forgot to consider when looking for a new car. There's always the passenger...

Finally this was the car I always wanted when I decided I had time to enjoy a sports car. This arrived in Dec on a transporter after being laid up and worked on for 8 years, loads of work done already including an engine re-build and unleaded conversion. Been working through master cylinder replacem...

This one came a year later and was supposed to replace the green one but I ended up keeping the two for a short while until a buyer for the green one also wanted this one for his wife. All I did was put some vinyls on, added the rally type spots ad cleaned the engine up a bit, only had it 6 weeks be...

This was my first little project, 1975 1500, short MOT and failed on 22 points, I did most of the work including welding the A pillar but had to farm the major welding out. Had some fun port matching and polishing and setting up the carbs, after adding electronic ignition it was quite nippy. http://...

Thanks for the welcome all, I have an apology to make according to my wife. My light hearted view regarding her automatic Z3 was not meant to be a direct criticism of the Z3 auto box, it is just me and automatics don't get on. If I had any doubts about the Z3 I would have looked at something else, s...

Recently purchased a 1999 Z3 1.9 as a daily car after spending most of my life with vans and estate cars for hobbies and work. It's not my first sports car as last year I owned two MG Midgets, sold them to a chap and his wife, added some more cash and bought a Triumph GT6 that had not been on the ro...
