Finished in a fetching two-tone colour scheme of Lichfield Green with a broad white stripe, ‘WUR 6E’ is a 1967 Triumph Vitesse that had been in its previous owner’s care since 2006.

The online MoT history shows it was last tested in 2018, and we understand it had been unused and in storage for a few years before the keeper lost his garage.

The seller, who is a classic car dealer, recommissioned it before popping on a new MoT.

A set of Minilite-style alloy wheels and a folding white roof help make this the perfect convertible classic for summer runs to the beach or pub.

The two-tone colour scheme suits the Vitesse’s American-themed lines very well, showcasing the tailfins to particularly good effect; it’s the perfect choice of colour for a car like this, and we salute whoever chose to replace the red it was before.

Sitting on slightly scuffed 13-inch Minilite-style alloy wheels, the 175/70R13 tyres are Blacklion Cilerro on all four corners, which is a reassuring sign.

All have goo...
