[Signal Red Mk2 GT6 EMH762J]

If I can trace the owner I have some trophies somewhere including best modified GT6 at Stafford in 1996 and runner up in master class 1997.

Thanks Colin. That would have been around 7 years after I sold it. I'd love to buy it back one day but at todays prices I'm going to need to sell a kidney!

Does anyone know the whereabouts of my old Mk2 GT6 EMH 762J? 

I owned this between 1995 and 1998. Bought as a stalled project, finished and sold to fund a house purchase. Accessible DVLA data suggests its now in Northern Ireland.

I had to let this go at the end of 2021 due to changing jobs. Things have changed now and I'm looking for another project, this time I'd prefer something running and usable that I can improve. Is there anyway on here that I can place a wanted ad?

thats Charles Arrowsmiths car  i had a hand in the advert and knew the car 20 years ago when it still awaited fixing 

front chassis grafted on by Jim White  from dunstable   , Son put it in ditch near whipsnade zoo and it never got fixed, she's   bit bent but low mileage and no rust

now have to delete the advert   Pete

Thanks Pete. I was told the incident was around 1988 but there's evidence that it was earlier, possibly around 1982.

As for the damage, well the bonnet doesn't fit and is bent in 3 places, LH front wing, LH just inboard of head lamp, the area that stress cracks - I feel that this may make the bonnet scrap and the rear RH side of the top, I'll try to upload images. I had a measure up of the front hinge boxes and there is a little difference between the hinge boxes but hopefully no more than the factory, I have access to a straight chassis to check. It is pretty rust free but unfortunately there has been damage from storage to the drivers side door and there are a few minor dents here and there, but I think a dent guy could deal with most.

It would be a great basis for a concours standard rebuild, I did promise myself never again.

Nice picture of the GT6, Stew

Thanks, can't take credit for that. It was borrowed by classics magazine around 1996-7 for a feature in their triumph 75th anniversary issue

Hello all, I was a TSSC member and active in the Norfolk region meets in the mid to late 90's when I had a saffron mk4 spit, a signal red mk2 GT6 and a sapphire blue mk4 spit. Back again now as I've acquired a really interesting mk4 spitfire project.
