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 version
