1967 Triumph Vitesse 2-Litre One of the earliest 2-litre Vitesse' from long-term 16-year enthusiast owner; wonderfully unmolested throughout This rather delightful Triumph Vitesse 2-litre is, we believe (as does the vendor), possibly the earliest 2-litre fixed head Vitesse still on the road.
It was built in November 1966 (the 2-Litre model was introduced in September 1966) and has been with our enthusiast owner for the last 16 years during which time he has pursued originality and spent money where required including on a standard stainless steel exhaust, period correct radio, spot lamps and Smiths heated rear screen.
The car looks to have covered approximately 78,000 miles from new, believed genuine and while a replacement speedo has been fitted, the original is in the boot along with a selection of useful spares and other boxed new parts worth a small fortune no doubt.
The car is finished in Royal Blue and features matching Matador Blue interior and was partially restored in 2014 ...
