MOT: April 2027
In 1962, and following pre-war practice of fitting 6-cylinder motors in hitherto 4-cylinder powered chassis, Triumph introduced their Vitesse with a 1596cc 6-cylinder engine in a lengthened Herald frame, with similar body panels and modified front end incorporating four headlamps. The Vitesse was built by Standard-Triumph from May 1962 to July 1971. The car was styled by Giovanni Michelotti, and was available in saloon and convertible variants, firstly with a 1600cc engine then latterly with a 2000cc unit.
Remarkably, this Vitesse has only had one lady owner from new and has covered some 55,000 miles. Purchased new from a local dealer in 1966, we understand the car has subsequently spent it's entire life in Buxton. Offered with a large history file dating back to the 1970's including records of services, MOTs and works carried out, it was running and driving at the time of consignment and is believed to have been resprayed in the 1990's to the current light blue colour. Now offered from a deceased estate at no reserve with current V5c showing no former keeper's and nearly 12 months MOT until April 9th 2027 with tyres as the only advisory.
