Originally a US car, imported back to UK as were many hundreds in the 1990s. Most were (like mine) converted to RHD but retained the US spec engine.

Great Car. You can't beat the smell of Petrol, Oil and Vinyl! The sound was perfect too, thanks to a TriumphTune 6-3-2-1 stainless manifold and twin centre exit exhausts at the back.
 
Very nice 6. I take it y'all were expecting at the time ?
BTW, 72 is considered a very good year over here. It was the year before we got carried away carb emission stuff. Not that the emission stuff can't be deleted, but if it's original you want to remain you might hold out for another 72.
 
Beautiful car...beautiful lady. I'm just thinking about how much work it takes to convert to RHD. It's seems like it is quite an undertaking. Different rack & pinion, dash. Moving the pedal box...having to cut the firewall for the pedal box. Moving the brake lines. Different linkage for the accelerator...man, the list just goes on and on.
