[Jony]

just noticed this GT6 on the bay with 'audi style rear shafts' and has the roto bottom arms but still using the spring?  thoughts?

Driveshaft looks like a variant of the Bowler/Jones one - basically the roto setup with CV shaft and maybe a modern bearing.  Could be the Jigsaw one - I have heard they use VAG parts but I don't know whether they machine out the vertical link or use the Triumph hub and bearing.

 

I completely don't understand why someone would put all that effort into restoring a car then try to offload it "with just a few simple jobs" remaining.  Finish it and get the best price!  Makes me wonder what it's really like (nasty cynic that I am).  Be interesting to see if he gets any takers at that price.  I'm sure he's spent far more but 5k would buy you a very decent finished GT6.  No overdrive (or 5 speed) either.
