Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1968 Triumph Vitesse Mk1 convertible, with only two owners from new, underwent a complete renovation in 1988 and has had thousands spent on it recently including a full refurbishment of the carburettors and a new S/S sports exhaust system.
Paperwork includes a Workshop Manual, an Owner's Handbook, a Lingfield Park racing booklet, MOT certificates, a V11 tax reminder, and invoices.
Condition

The car has had a complete renovation in 1988, and thousands of pounds have been spent since December 2024 on refurbishment and new parts. It's a well-maintained vehicle, but given its age and the fact that it has been refurbished, it's unlikely to be in 'Excellent' condition. 'Very Good' seems more appropriate as it's in overall solid condition with some wear expected.
