Vendor's comments:
The car was first registered on 20/11/1968. I purchased the car on 23/02/2002 this was five days after the engine had been fully reconditioned by a company called Totally Triumph. The car had also passed an MOT on the day when the engine had been certified as being fully reconditioned and the mileage on the MOT certificate is 10612.
I have been advised by the Triumph Sports Six Club of who I am a member, that my car was one of the last MKIIIs made and has a factory-fitted overdrive that works. It also has an original 1960s Harry Moss cassette player.
MOT mileage
1996 05428 miles, 1997 07675 miles, 1998 08672 miles, 2001 10395 miles, 2002 10614 miles, 2003 11955 miles, 2004 13012 miles, 2005 13800 miles, 2006 14393 miles, 2007 14986 miles, 2008 15370 miles, 2009 15773 miles, 2010 15985 miles, 2011 16177 miles, 2013 16569 miles, 2014 16737 miles, 2015 16948 miles, 2016 17004 miles, 2017 17049 miles, 2018 17091 miles, 2020 17096.
In 2002 the clutch was also replaced along with the slave cylinder after I had bought the car.
Apart from, the normal issues with a car like this one, the other major job that was carried out was a complete overhaul of the rear brakes including the drums, wheel cylinders, and the adjusters. All of the flexible brake pipes were also changed along with both front top ball joints.
I have most of the MOT certificates, the certificate from Totally Triumph stating that the engine has been fully reconditioned. I also have the Log Book and assorted bills available.
