Simon,
I love my GT6, it's a 67, and I have had it for 27 years. It has not run
all of the time, and you can certainly learn a lot of mechanics by owning
one. I have seen some for around $3,000, but I have a lot more than that
invested in my car. They are very easy to work on, everything is out in
the open as opposed to modern cars where you can hardly find the air filter
when you open the hood. I usually sit right on the tire to change the
spark plugs. The other side of the story is that parts are sometimes
difficult to find, British engineering is not always straightforward, and
most are wired with lucas electronics (the prince of darkness). Some times
things happen that are totally unexplainable, and that is what this list is
for. Its a great car IMHO, good luck. Is it valencia blue with wire
wheels? If so I may have a picture of it and know someone who knows the
owner. Keep us posted if you get it.
