About the Triumph GT6 Mk3 Green Sun Star 1:18
TL;DR: Sun Star's 1:18 diecast Triumph GT6 Mk3, in Green, reproduces the fastback coupe built on Spitfire underpinnings but fitted with a straight-six engine and a proper hatchback-style rear. The Mk3 update, running from 1970, gave the model revised styling over earlier GT6 generations.
The GT6 rarely gets the attention its engineering deserves, overshadowed by its more common Spitfire sibling despite offering a genuinely different driving character.
A Six-Cylinder Coupe Built From a Roadster
Triumph developed the GT6 by grafting a fastback coupe roof and a straight-six engine onto the smaller Spitfire's chassis, creating a genuinely quicker, more refined companion to the open-top roadster that most enthusiasts associate with the Triumph badge. The Mk3 revision brought smoother, more integrated styling and suspension updates that addressed some of the earlier cars' handling quirks, refining a formula that always had more potential than its modest reputation suggested. For a collector building a British sports car display, the GT6 offers real mechanical distinction from its Spitfire relative, not just a different roofline.
Diecast Coverage of an Underrated Coupe
At 1:18, Sun Star's diecast construction gives the GT6's fastback roofline and integrated tail genuine weight and typically opening doors and hood, letting a collector inspect a cabin sized for the compact chassis underneath. The Green finish suits the era's understated British sports car palette well. Set beside a Spitfire from the same period, this GT6 makes the platform relationship immediately visible while highlighting just how different the two cars felt to actually drive, a worthwhile pairing for anyone interested in how Triumph stretched a single chassis across two distinct personalities.
