If not, I'd have to wonder if the '1' might actually be a '7' instead, which might indicate that this car was first sold in Canada in the 1967 model year. I'm not sure it was universal, but a lot of Canadian Triumphs have a single digit stamped in front of the Commission number, apparently by a Provincial authority(?), to designate the model year.

Rough shape, project car at best, parts car at worst. Tranny in a box (I think), has all the glass, doors (though I may steal them), hood (a few dings), engine (turns), a complete (but smelly) interior, diff, suspension, bumpers, and some rust. Think I have a few other GT6 spares I'll toss in if they appear when it gets moved. Come to beautiful Speigletown, located just north of Troy, and take it away in the next week before it goes to be (gasp) crushed. If you just want parts, come get them. ( First come, first served, call for an appointment) I hate to do it, but I need the space for the running GT6 MKIII sitting in the snow. Rover SD1 carcass also available, but that may go to the Fire Dept for, er, training purposes. I just can't help/watch cut up a GT6+. Bob +1.518.237.8611 (h) +1.518.402.4482 (w)
