Descrizione
WHAT a really pretty and genuine 1970s this is. Rarely seen now is the Triumph Toledo, the predecessor to the Dolomite range. Here is a truly delightful little Toledo 1300 in one of BL's better colours of the era, Honeysuckle. And it doesn't half suit this little gem.
She looks so straight and fresh and has covered just 33, 000 miles from new. There is a personal letter with the car from the second owner, written in 2007 confirming this to be correct. She has a lengthy MoT until May 2021 even though she no longer requires one.
The interior helps to tell the story of the low mileage and when you lift the original carpets, you will see the floor pans in body colour. The pedals still maintain the Triumph crest and the wooden dash is pretty much perfect. Her seats are in excellent order, apart from a tiny nick in that British Leyland vinyl just around shoulder height on the driver's seat. You could nip that together with needle and thread and you would never know it was there.
She drives superbly and feels more like a car that is one or two years old. She certainly has a lovely fresh feel to her.
So rarely these days does a classic come along as pretty as this for less than £4000. I am sure that first to see will buy. In fact there is every chance that she will have found a new home before anyone even gets here to take a look.
Should you opt to purchase a classic car from me - classic meaning that it will be the equivalent of a motoring antique - then you are accepting that the vehicle will have had faults in the past and that, inevitably, there will be more to deal with in the future. Almost certainly and unless stated otherwise, the vehicle will have undergone some degree of restoration work and, again, it is more than likely it will need more at some stage during its life. I am a one-man enthusiast who enjoys unearthing these old girls and finding new homes for them. Viewing is highly recommended and then you can form your opinion of an aged vehicle just as I will have already formed mine. Modern-day life practically dictates that the majority of classic vehicles - and it is certainly the case with mine - are sold via internet advertising and with the added bonus of digital photographs. Extra and specific photographs will also be available on request. Should you choose to buy without viewing in person then please don't tell me a month later that the horn doesn't work, the full beam is faulty or that you have found some ancient repair of which I knew nothing. My terms therefore are that by buying from me you are accepting that, almost inevitably, classic vehicles will require further remedial work at some stage.
I accept all major debit cards and can also assist with delivery if required. Thanks for reading if you have managed to make it this far! Martin the details below)
