Hey felas
Today me and my Dad went down to my Dads mate house to look at his new Triumph Americana Motorbike. Anyway he wasnt there and was over at a very good friends house so we headed over and saw him and his mate and had a couple of beers. Anyway they were chatting away and i was mucking around with the dog and i hear the word GT. I turned around and said? "What GT". Anyway we headed up to his garage (its on a property) A very clean garage with marble type tiles. More like a bedroom. Sitting there was a XY GT. One of the only ones ever ordered with a viynl roof (black)! Its white and has a 351 cleveland in it. Its in showroom cond. Better than a new car. But he took the old motor out when it has 1000 miles on it and run it every now and then and put in a normal worked 351 done to the same specs. He did this so he can wack the original motor in when he sells it. His an old italian guy. Spewing i didnt get pics. And yes there was a couple ordered with a vynil roof. And its not a South African import or anything i checked the plates.

By that I take it you mean the original engine has 1000 miles on it but has morer hours, but the actual car has more miles on it. ?? I don’t get people who do chit like this, It’s a car and it’s made to be driven, I could honestly say if I could acutely afford one it would be driven every weekend. cheers. |

There where hundreds of XYGT's with vinyl roofs, there were 17 Phase 3's with vinyl roofs alone, (8 were black roof, 9 were beige roof!).
