Cool.  But "KC51640 LO " would make it a 1969 model GT6+. How is it titled?   
;-)  



Andy,
The PO referred to it as a very late 68, therefore a  GT6+.  I  think the 
MK2's and Plus's started at commission #KC50001, mid to late 68. It is  titled 
as 
a 68.  A few guys have already argued that 68 was MK1 only?   Body # is 80268 
KD.  No clue on that, might have came from one of my old  Spits?  Nice clean 
tag though.  The engine # has been milled away, but  it is the 70 motor.  The 
70 was KC810880 L.  BTW I am cheating on the  O part above too!  OD is a must! 
The beauty of Modified, No  Rules. 
 
 
 Really both cars were JUNK!  So I have at least put another  Triumph on the 
road from parts.  For the effort I could most likely have  bought two 
perfectly original GT's but what fun is that? The frame is 68, the  body and 
motor is 
70, the interior is new repro, with the 70 seats that fold  back and the dash 
is 68. Yes, FYI, all the lenses in the rear are the unique 70  variety, up 
front the grill is 68 and the lenses are Euro MK2 spec.  No  side lights like 
the 
GT6 MK2.  It was kind of fun!
Cheers,
Darrell
