I-Spy Classic Cars/Bikes-What have you spotted?

Well the Lancia Delta Integrale is a required taste, looks amazing in MartIni colours

[mickthemaverick]

I defy anyone to go and drive one and not fall for it!!

When I had my HF Turbo, which was in Martini colours, I attended a rally in Yorkshire as a marshal and one competitor had an Integrale and he let me have a go! It was fandabbydozy!!! I drove home after the event feeling very underpowered!!

It's missing the mustard seeds to be called baby poo yellow

I am very surprised that my Mini Cooper post has caused more comment than my last post here!!?

I watched one of those go through Tewkesbury car auction on a Wednesday Mick, absolutely falling apart with rust, it came back through at the Friday evening sale looking as good as your picture, the 'do 'em up' boys had wallpapered over the rot , filled and painted it and off it went to an unsuspecting private punter.

Definitely a driver's car. Best looking Triumph imo.

Stlll got the Haynes Manual from back in 1981 when I had a light blue Mark III GT6.

Probably in all my motoring career to date the most excited I was about getting a car until I got the Leaf!

I think it's such a nice looking car compared to modern two seaters. And it fits in a parking space....

[Rp0thejester]

Any idea what Mark it is? It's rather rounded at the front and has mirrors on the wings. I can confirm it's steering wheel is flat at the bottom. I saw a group of GT6s at a garage I worked at but this one looks different

[mickthemaverick]

It was first registered in October 1967 with a 1996cc inline engine making it a MK1. However the engine is now listed as a 2500cc so obviously has had an engine upgrade!

[Rp0thejester]

Damn, I want that car!! I thought it was different as the other GT6s I've seen are more Spitfire like at the front. Wish I took more photos. The seats were cracked, dashboard showing cracks a proper driver's car

Here you go Ryan, pick the bones out of this lot:

That high level Chrome bar looks awful. I'm definitely more into '68 and before

Too late for my contribution but here it is anyway

It is a Mark 1 If the plate is right a 1967 , just before some changes for the Mark II which was introduced in 1968.

The bonnet badge and Triumph lettering, the grill, no air vents in the C pillar, and vents behind the front wheel on the bonnet are characteristic of the Mark I. Its missing a bumper which would have been positioned beneath the front grill. For the Mark II bumper was positioned across across the grill at halfway up, losing the open mouthed look of the Mark I.
