AI Listing Summary

This award-winning 1947 Triumph 1800 Roadster boasts long-term ownership of 23 years and comes with an extensive history, including its original buff log book. It features an upgraded SU carburettor and its engine and gearbox were recently rebuilt, making it a well-maintained classic with desirable provenance.

Condition

The car is described as an award-winning example with a repaint from 10 years ago that still presents well, though there is some very slight micro-blistering in a couple of small areas. The engine bay and underside are also described as presentable. The interior retains its traditional atmosphere and original features like the Dickey seats. The engine and gearbox were rebuilt before the current ownership, with relatively little mileage covered since. Overall, it's in very good condition with minor cosmetic imperfections and evidence of regular maintenance and care over its long ownership history.
