1970 Triumph GT6+ with frame-off restoration of sorts. Still a little bastard of mixed parts, fiberglass panels, and Miata seats...but faster and better handling than it was originally.

Short list of "upgrades" includes twin SU 1.75 carbs, K&N filters, bored and honed intake manifold, pacesetter header, hybrid crappy monza exhaust, Miata seats, Spax adjustable shocks, rear .75" spring spacer block, Superlite 14x6" wheels (staggered offsets), 240Z Hawk HPS brake pads, energy suspension bushings everywhere, very large addco front swaybar, UK market front marker lights, and a number of other things, including a stylin' matte black rattle-can paint job.

 during the restoration...

I love GT6's I had one back in the early eighties. That car would haul! Get her back on the road the GT6+ is probably the nicest Triumph model out.
