 What's the car? - Fenlander
Yep has to be a Mk.I GT6.

SWMBO came within minutes of buying a valencia blue one back in the late 70's... just thought a call to the insurance co might be in order. She already had a Triumph 2000 with the same engine but the GT6 was about 2.5x as much to insure.

They were a good MGB alternative but never quite achieved the same cult following.

With their seperate chassis the rust issues were not quite so serious as a B and that 2lit 6cyl engine was so impressive in a tiny car.

The Mk.II smoothed the rear end off in a Stag style but was not quite so classic looking.
