That's a factory hardtop but is that a GT6 bonnet? Where the heck did those wheels come from? Too small.

Those wing mirrors can't be original. Oh and it shouldn't have the silver on black number plates either. Harumph.

It shouldn't, I agree, but it's entirely legal for it to have them.

The wheels are from a Triumph Spitfire.

Blimey, you're right. I had a MkIV 1300 and I thought the wheels stayed the same right up to end of production. You live and learn.

Slightly shaky iPhone picture, but a GT350 in an underground car park in a particularly affluent part of Köln this afternoon

Reminds me of the ‘Gitfire’ a mate of mine built years ago.
Predictably a GT6 engine in a Spitfire.
That was tomato soup red with Wolfrace Slotmags though.

Not as standard, no.

A MKVI with Mulliner coachwork iirc? I had one with standard steel body, quite a fast saloon in it's day

Correct. Twin headlight Sunbeam Stiletto on left (with non-std Cosmic alloys, and looks like front rad).

As pointed out it shouldn't, but hey ho why not?
It's nothing to do with me, just spotted it on local walk. Owner's pride and joy judging by the size of the 'krooklok' on the s/wheel!
