Highlights

Only four registered keepers in approximately 50 years
In the same family for over 30 years
Extensively restored
Largely original 1976 specification
Accompanied by a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate

The Appeal

The Triumph Toledo is one of the unsung heroes of 1970s British motoring. Offered as a more affordable, rear-wheel-drive alternative to the front-wheel-drive 1500, the Toledo paired a willing 1,296cc four-cylinder engine with a four-speed manual gearbox to deliver an honest, engaging driving experience in a compact saloon. While it may not be a headline grabber, it's quintessentially English - and increasingly nostalgic in the age of EVs!

This 1976 example has had just four registered keepers from new, with the last three from the same family since the mid-1990s. During that time, the car has been extensively restored, with engine and bodywork work carried out during SORN periods between 2007 and 2016. It retains its original 1976 specification with only minor sympathetic additions.

Supported by part MOT and maintenance history alongside a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, this Toledo represents a compelling opportunity to acquire a well-documented, lovingly maintained example of an increasingly collectable, all-garden British classic.

Hi. The car looks great. Does it require any fuel additives? Was any welding done during its restoration / has it been rustproofed since? If it's in London is it OK ie. registered for ULEZ? And are there any jobs (big or small) that you would be doing if you weren't selling it? Thank you.
