The PO referred to it as a very late 68, therefore a GT6+. I think the MK2's and Plus's started at commission #KC50001, mid to late 68. It is titled as a 68. A few guys have already argued that 68 was MK1 only? ==AM== And I'd be one of those guys. :-) Yes, I know the lore, and I also know that sometimes the British weren't as absolutely strict about "model years" as others, especially in the mid-1960s and earlier. But the GT6 Mk 2/+ began production in July 1968, and even "back then" I can't imagine any company being proud to introduce a brand-new model and calling it the model year about to end! So I'd consider any GT6+ a 1969 if KC50001 and above, or 1970 if KC75001 or above. I wonder how yours got titled as a '68 and if it was always titled that way? ==AM== Body # is 80268 KD. No clue on that, might have came from one of my old Spits? ==AM== No, any K-series body (or other) number would be from a GT6. 80268 would be 1970 model year. ==AM== Really both cars were JUNK! So I have at least put another Triumph on the road from parts. ==AM== And, of course, that's what's really important here! ==AM== Yes, FYI, all the lenses in the rear are the unique 70 variety.... ==AM== Cool! If I were you, I'd get a set of "normal" Spitfire taillamp lenses, and only put the others on when you get to a show field. Seeing as the last pair I saw on eBay went for over well over $100, and considering just how fragile they are (one brush of a leg is sometimes enough to snap them right off the lamp base!).... --Andy Mace *Mrs Irrelevant: Oh, is it a jet? *Man: Well, no ...
