This white Triumph Vitesse was registered to a lady in Berkshire in June 1971, making it one of the last convertibles made before production ended in July that year.

The odometer shows 79,664 miles, and there have been only 3 registered keepers from new.

The first owner retained the car until 2008, and the vendor has owned it since 2010.

In his words: “The car has had a gentle life, and has been stored in a garage for some years.

It has been largely recommissioned and is running well, with new tyres, battery and clutch cylinder.

The brakes haven't been checked.” The last MoT expired in 2014.

It comes with an excellent history file containing maintenance receipts going all the way back to 1971.

Some indicate a professional restoration and engine rebuild in the 1990s.

Various MoTs, tax discs and sundry paperwork are also present, with a fully-stamped service book recording 14 services up to 58k miles in 1993.

Hub caps and a spare set of keys are also included.

V5C to follow.
