These things are like Jag E-types that are actually fun to drive.

Whats the deal with the rear suspension? A quick google search says sudden over steer on throttle lift-off, on the mk1 and mk2, but the issue was sorted on the mk3?

Pretty much what you say. But fixes are in for the early cars anyways.

It was the swing axle early MK1 cars that could bite. MK2 cars had Rotoflex suspensions with a lower control arm that solved the problem but was more expensive to build. Triumph went to the swing spring suspension for the MK3 cars and they handle just fine.

Mk3 GT6's are the nicest to drive.

I always wanted one of these but they always seem rotted away.

That one looks better than most. 

I'm driving east from CA to FL at the end of August. If anybody wants me to swing through Tuscaloosa for a look just ping me.
