There was a GT6 on there that some one had made into a removable hard top. It is to hard to explain what they did to it

I think we now know what happens when you put a Spitfire, a '54 Corvette, and Elva Courier and the TV Batmobile into a blender...or spend too much time sniffing Castrol R fumes.... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif

here is the GT6 convertable, looks home made to me, but I might be wrong

If I ever sell my TR3A I'll be sure to mention that it 'raced at the Indy 500 track back in the 80s'.

Well, it was just two laps... but there were other cars out there and I sure felt like Jim Clark.

Lord knows why anyone would hack up a GT6 like this. If you want a convertible that bad, why not just make a Spit6?

I've got 2 GT6's... one for restore and one for parts. If things go right, that's my plan, to make a Spit6 out of the one that's got too much body rot to save.

How did they get twin exhausts on each side? I pipe for each cylinder to exhaust, but only one carb for fuel?

That thing is really ugly.........

I suspect one set of "exhausts" are for appearence only.

Unless this has some verifiable racing "history" I'd just think it was ugly old DPO bodywork....
