Registered in November 1968, this 1998cc Triumph Vitesse was in storage for five years or so before being purchased by the vendor in 2022 and recommissioned. Its odometer shows 45,040 miles and there's no online record of an MoT; however, as an historic vehicle, the Vitesse no longer requires annual testing. The vendor notes that the car runs well but has temperamental headlights and the driver's door doesn't open from the inside. Recent work has included new fuel tank and pump, electronic ignition and coil. The carburettors have been rebuilt and a full service carried out with all fluids changed. There are also new alloys and tyres. A set of new carpets is in the boot, as is the original distributor. The only paperwork is the V5C plus a Haynes workshop manual.
