About the Triumph GT6 Mk3 Green Sun Star 1:18

TL;DR: Sun Star's 1:18 diecast Triumph GT6 Mk3, finished in Green, reproduces the six-cylinder fastback coupe that Triumph built on Spitfire-derived underpinnings through the early 1970s. It suits a shelf built around affordable British sports coupes rather than the era's more expensive grand tourers.

The GT6 never had E-Type money behind it, but its fastback shape carries genuine visual ambition, and this diecast treats that ambition with real seriousness.

Diecast Detail on a Fastback Coupe Shape

Sun Star's diecast holds the GT6 Mk3's revised, more rounded bodywork with clean panel lines along the sloping tailgate and flanks, distinguishing this later Mk3 shape from the earlier, more angular GT6 versions. Green paint sits with reasonable depth rather than a flat single tone, and opening doors and bonnet are standard for the diecast tier, revealing a cabin sized to Spitfire-based underpinnings rather than a larger GT platform. Sun Star has built a reputation for solid mid-tier diecast work on subjects other manufacturers often overlook, and the GT6 is exactly that kind of subject.

The GT6's Place Among British Sports Coupes

Built by extending the Spitfire roadster's chassis with a fastback coupe body and a straight-six engine, the GT6 gave Triumph a genuinely distinctive product positioned well below the price of contemporaries like Jaguar's E-Type, earning it a reputation, however informal, as a more attainable alternative with real style. Production ran into the early 1970s across three revisions, with the Mk3 bringing the most resolved bodywork of the series. For a British sports car shelf, the GT6 represents genuine value-for-money engineering rather than headline performance.
