SUMMARY

From long-term ownership, this older restoration is the perfect Triumph Vitesse project and is offered at without reserve.

DESCRIPTION

First introduced in 1962, the Michelotti - styled Triumph Vitesse became a staple of Standard-Triumph’s lineup throughout the 1960s and went through numerous engine, chassis and minor styling changes throughout its nine year tenure
In September 1966, the second generation Vitesse was introduced with an enlarged 2-litre six-cylinder offering a power increase to 95bhp, along with the fitment of a stronger clutch, an all-synchromesh gearbox, larger front brakes and a stronger differential
First registered in 1969, little is known about this Mk2 Convertible prior to being purchased by its current owner in 2012, though it seems a restoration had taken place at some point
Used as a third car during current ownership, the vehicle was subject to some mechanical work including fitting electronic ignition in 2013
Not used since 2020 and will require some additional recommissioning to get back on the road
Finished in white with black-striped detailing and black hood, over a red vinyl interior and sits on silver Minilite wheels
Supplied with previous MOTs, invoices during current ownership and some additional spare parts
In need of a little TLC to get back up and running, this little classic could be the perfect project
