Subject: Another "new" GT6
> Another Triumph just followed me home. That makes 3, one of which
> actually runs. This one is a GT6 Mk3, built January 1973 according
> to the commission plate. Originally Sienna Brown, now sort of a
> faded gunmetal grey. Battery box is rusted out, passenger side
> floor filled with rusty muck that used to be the carpet, but I
> couldn't see light through the floor so it may be OK. Sills looked
> OK and it doesn't seem to be sagging in the middle.

> Commission number KF21857, body 22110KF (close enough), and engine
> number is KD53420E. The commission number is right for a 1973 US
> car, but the engine number doesn't look right to me. A 1973 swing
> spring car should have had the low compression smogged engine. Can
> anybody out there cross reference that engine number and tell me what
> it is out of? I am guessing it's a GT6 Plus. At least I hope it is.
