GT6 Mk1 on its way!
- Thread starter qunvat
- Start date
A GT6 eh??qunvat said:
Well lets see what the experts say...
Condition 1 £4250
Condition 2 £2500
condition 3 £850.
So you have paid just under condition 2 price for a car WITHOUT an MOT???
And then they said...."you cannot accurately value any (classic) car without seeing it in the flesh. It MUST be judged on its own merits."
And it gets better ... not only have you never seen the car you have never really examined ANY GT6 let alone driven one?
It handles like s**t, it goes everywhere slowly (max speed 108
0-60 in 12 secs, but it drinks fuel like there is no tomorrow(20mpg)And dont get me started on its looks!!!!
Whats that phrase with the words" parted, money and fool" in it???
Facts n figures from Practical Classics.
on the plus side they did say "spares availability was good" Reassuring that. You will certainly need a few!!

Bought a whole heap of trouble I expect.
Good luck with it.
I daren't comment too much.
I think as a club we are very negative and opinionated.
Si I think you are very nieve, especially considering your mechanical knowledge and facilities. However good luck, I hope you have dropped on a good car.

Life is harsh - on this forum we merely reflect that. Consider this, if, despite all these comments, Simon enjoys his car then he's REALLy made theright decision - he did ask us after all.....!
There ARE worse cars.but we don't generally see them here.

Russ said:Yeah I think they changed the rear suspension a lot for the mk2??? I know I was after a mk2 because it had the looks of the mk1 but the go of the mk3 (which I think lost some looks?), all from memory so could be wrong
At least it's not a dull car and will go well enough, there are so many people into classics who drive cars that weren't any good in their day and ugly now
...someone making sense in the nursery!.....yes people upgrade using the rotoflex system from the Mk2 which I'll make a priority. Mk2's are also very rare but there lots of Mk3 's around that dont look anywhere near as good as the Mk1.
I also love z's guys B4 anymore toys are thrown at me!...I also love many things so I guess I'm lucky I can appreciate all sorts.

Russ said:Well even if it doesn't fit Simon, which from his explanation it appears to, then at least he will see his money back when he comes to sell
Let us know how you get on with the GT6 Simon, and be more careful next time you post a Triumph on a Z enthusiast website
SENSE again!
....Geeeesus guys we're talking about bl**dy classic cars here!.....personally I love LOADS of them!...is this a competition?
Have always loved this forum but come on, banter aside etc....
I wonder wot reaction I'd get on the Triumph one if I bought another z..
ummm, maybe I'll shut up now...Russ I'll keep ya posted though mate, ta for the interest.
Wheres that cup of tea?
