Description

This popular modern classic boasts adequate sporting performance from its 1854cc overhead camshaft engine, and is an ideal mode of classic transportation for a small family.

Appropriately finished in Brooklands Green, this ‘Dolly’ was a family company car for three years and then purchased by the family and retained for the next twenty three years.

Apart from some localised corrosion to the front panel, we understand that this Triumph is a very smart, presentable example with an excellent, original interior.

The comprehensive documentation supplied is second to none.

Included in the vast history file is the original sales brochure, the original Supercover Handbook Portfolio, original supplier documentation, all road tax discs from 1979, a fully documented maintenance record, virtually all invoices from new, all MOT test certificates, photographs and the V5C registration certificate.
