In 1962, following the pre-war practice of fitting 6-cylinder power plants into 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 both saloon and convertible variants, firstly with a 1600cc engine then latterly with a 2000cc unit.

Triumph's Vitesse has always been popular for its super-smooth six cylinder engine and good power-to-weight ratio and more than 22,000 1600 models were built before the MkII was launched in 1968.

Overdrive was particularly desirable turning the car into a capable long distance tourer.

The subject of a previous full restoration carried out between 2003 and 2004 this overdrive-equipped Vitesse Saloon is accompanied by a huge history file detailing the car’s provenance...
