Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1963 Triumph Vitesse Saloon, finished in Signal Red and Beach White with a black interior, appears to be well-maintained with a history file documenting work since 1989. While it presents attractively and includes seatbelts and an original owner's handbook, the limited use since its last MOT may raise questions for potential buyers.

However, the description suggests that the milometer reading indicates limited use since its last MOT in July 2021, implying it may have been sitting unused for a while, and the overall condition is not described as 'perfect'.
