The vendor has provided the following:
- Triumph Vitesse Mk2 2.0 Litre 1969
- This is a fully restored (approx 10 years ago) example
- Presented in Old English White with Pale Blue stripe and all-new Pale Blue interior, this stunning Mk. II Convertible with Overdrive was the subject of a comprehensive, long-term restoration and is now show-ready for the season ahead
- Sitting on painted banded steel wheels and with a white hood and blue hood cover, this 4-seater convertible needs nothing other than for the sun to continue to shine!
- Designed by Giovanni Michelotti and featuring a large glass area (93% all-round visibility) and razor-edged looks, the Vitesse was a compact 2-door sporting saloon introduced by Triumph in May 1962
- The Vitesse was built on a separate chassis, the main tub being bolted on, allowing the entire front end to hinge forward, allowing easy engine access
- Indeed, every panel could be unbolted from the car, allowing the different body styles to be constructed. With the Vitesse, this meant either a 2-door saloon often with a large sliding sunroof or full convertible, and indeed, many saloons have been converted post-production to offer the full fresh air experience
- In October 1968 came the final incarnation, the Mk. II 2 litre with tweaked performance (up to 104BHP) and most noticeably improved rear suspension rack with new lower wishbones and Rotoflex half shaft
couplings - This dramatically improved higher speed handling and roadholding, providing the car with a true sporting edge, and not just in a straight line
- Externally, a new grille with 3 sets of horizontal elements helped to distinguish the car from its earlier cousin, further enhanced by Rostyle wheel trims, new badges, and a silver painted rear panel (Triumph called it ceramic!)
- My Vitesse was registered on the Isle of Wight in April 1969 and would appear to have remained on the Island until 2023 when I acquired it. Sadly, I know very little of the car`s history but understand that it was off
