Name That Shifter, No. 108: 1967 Triumph GT-6

On Monday, we presented this week’s shifter and asked you to identify the make and model of the vehicle whence it came. Many of you figured out that the shifter was British and old, but the first commenter to correctly identify it as a 1967 Triumph GT-6′s four-speed stick was James E Delaney. In the spirit of the holiday season, we’re giving this week’s winner a special Save the Manuals prize bundle with a T-shirt, button, and sticker as a reward.

The GT-6 pictured here is from our May 1967 issue. Based on Triumph’s Spitfire chassis, the GT-6 got handsome two-door hatchback styling penned by Italian designer Michelotti. The coupe’s other distinctive feature (relative to both the four-cylinder Spitfire and TR-4 convertibles) was its 95-hp, 2.0-liter inline-six. It may have had a more-powerful motor, but performance was relatively tame—the sprint from 0–60 mph took 10.3 seconds.
