1968 Superb Triumph Vitesse Mk1 2.0 Convertible with O/D SOLD

This is a lovely example of a late Mk1 2 litre Triumph Vitesse convertible, in the same ownership for 19 years and having covered less than 4000 miles in that period. The car has been well maintained and garaged throughout this time and there is a good history file containing invoices, receipts and MOTs. The registration document shows only five previous keepers.

The car retains its original "DL" chassis number suffix showing that it left the factory as a saloon version of the Vitesse, but a detailed restoration to factory convertible specification was undertaken some twenty plus years ago. This restoration was obviously done to a very high standard which is reflected in the car's condition and driveability today. The recorded mileage is 20, 000, the current MOT runs until 18th July 2018 and the car is HPI clear and road tax payment exempt.

This is a lovely looking car which is in excellent structural and mechanical condition, has a very attractive interior and drives extremely well. Prices of all six cylinder Triumphs are rising sharply at present and this car will be a good investment as well as providing a great deal of pleasure to its new owner in years to come.

Viewing is by appointment at my dry and well lit premises in Burwash, East Sussex. Please call me on the details below for further details or to arrange a viewing. Any inspection is very welcome. Please also see my website at - details above .

Recently recommissioned by ourselves with electrical work, tuning and remedial paintwork, other than that little history to speak of, so this car has no history but it has done about 4000 miles since 2011. The Triumph TR7 used to be considered something of a poor relation: frowned upon by traditionalist enthusiasts ...
