eBay watch: 1972 Triumph GT6 sports car

Gt6

A real gem from Triumph's past, with this Triumph GT6 sports car available on eBay right now.

It's a fine example too. Dating from 1972, it's really been looked after, tax and MOT in place and with plenty of servicing and upgrades over the years, right down to fresh oil and some anti-freeze recently added. See the selling page for a full breakdown.

There's 94,000 on the clock, interior is described as 'good'  and it's a real head-turner, that's for sure. Only thing worth mentioning on the downside is that the care has been off the road for over 15 years, but is 'ready to use' now, according to the seller. If you want it, you'll need to beat the current top bid of £2,350.

Vintage-style Pharmacy towel from H&M

Pharmacist towel
Vintage-styled homewares from an unlikely source: this Pharmacy towel comes from H&M.

The towel is designed as if it shows the signage of an old American pharmacy: a look that would fit in well with the Three Potato Four products that we featured yesterday. If you like the look, H&M have plenty more products with a similar style to invest in, including a bath mat and a hand towel. 

This towel costs £12.99.
