Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1962 Triumph Vitesse, with its original Middlesex number plate, boasts a rebuilt 1600 engine and a history-rich background, including a buff log book and old tax discs. Having been dry-stored for over 16 years and recently driven 120 miles, it appears to be a well-preserved example with only 10 believed to be left in the country.
Condition
7
The car has been dry stored for 16 years and has had the engine, petrol, brakes, and electrics rebuilt, suggesting good mechanical condition. However, slight wear may be visible. The listing mentions new brake and clutch cylinders, but also implies some reconditioning might be needed to bring it to a higher standard.
