Clarke44 Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 Hi All With great regret and with a tear, i am thinking about selling my 1970 Triumph GT6 Project Unfortunately due to circumstances out of my control i don't think i will be able to finish the car. I am wondering what peoples thoughts are. Whats it worth? Where to try and sell it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 free classified to members in the club courier and online adverts must be a good starting point sorry its not going to get to your goal , these things happen , good luck its better than a project have a look at insurance values on the club downloads and aim around 2/3rds certainly worth more than you probably realise theres a lot of A1 A1+ showing on that car never mind the bonnet Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarke44 Posted July 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 The problem i have is i don't know how much it is worth and don't want to let it go to cheap. Just after some advice before posting it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 without knowing just what gt6 model or age you need to go to the club main home page , scroll down to find insurance valuations and if you look at the valuation form which explains the A1 A2 caregories to give a rough idea of where the car sits in rebuild insurance values knock of a 1/3 and aim at that as i said apart from the bonnet and some fitting this has a lot going for it and can range from a A1 at around sub £12k to a project £ 3k which its not if your a member ask Bern for advice on the best approach im not in a position to guess from a couple of pictures Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordiehorn Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 Clarke, where are you based? I've been looking for a GT6 project to work on with my 19 year old son. This is a bit more advanced than we were looking for but it looks a beautiful car, so we'd be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Re value, cars usually sell around 2/3 insurance valuation. Then work out how much it would cost to get it there. Remember to add real money for labour. Could easily be 3k or substantially more....at least 1k for paint. And of course, an allowance needs to be made for unexpected jobs. And then the owner will expect an uplift in value for getting the car finished. Worth asking, when was the car last used on the road? Is will it need recommissioning with all hydraulic seals/hoses etc etc, and do the mechanicals need work. If buying most will assume the will need work unless you can prove otherwise.

ShaunW Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 I had a look on that list to see what my spit6 might be worth. I see there's a GT6 convertable listed, RT and ST (whatever those are). What car is that? And would a spit 1500 (6'ed with a 2500 from a TR5 ) carry a premium or reduce the value? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 Bottom of page states gt6 convertible must be on a proper 2ltr chassis otherwise its valued as a 1500. As for RT ST ... thoughts about rotorflex or std swing, ragtop soft top sorry no idea Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NonMember Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 I would guess RT and ST is "round tail" and "square tail", i.e. up to Mk3 Spitfire body on Mk1/2 GT6 for RT and Mk4/1500 body on Mk3 for ST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 That makes sense , but the value main value hurdle is being on the correct chassis , not just slot a 2/2.5 into a std spitty chassis and running gear brakes etc. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave.vitesse Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 It may be Rotoflex Suspension. and Swing Suspension. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrapman Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 That is not a project, it is a car with a bonnet that needs painting! probably worth a couple ofgrand under normal price, unless of course you will sell it to me in which case it is worth £50 cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
