Beschreibung
THIS Triumph Vitesse 2 litre Mark 2 is incredibly solid with a superb chassis and excellent panel work. It is not a car to be associated with rust and rot. It does however need painting, mainly due to what appears to be an older paint job which has faded and maybe caught too much sun!
She is the highly sought after Mark 2 model with overdrive (it wouldn't click in for me on my test drive, but it is definitely fitted!) and, as I say, she is as solid as you are likely to find with one of these models. Poor old thing can't help being cosmetically challenged.
The super straight-six lump looks ultra neat and tidy, painted in gold while the interior is original with seats in outstanding condition. Floor pans are also original, rock solid and un-molested. There's also the added bonus of a Webasto sunroof.
Please do not mistake this Vitesse for a sports saloon needing restoration. It does not. If her paintwork was as impressive as the rest of the vehicle, then she would be a damned sight more expensive!!
All in all, a great opportunity to acquire a model whose prices are soaring sky high. This one offers you one hell of a head start should you decide to give her a fresh coat of paint which, I would suggest, she thoroughly deserves.
Please remember that these classic cars are the equivalent of motoring antiques and cannot, under any circumstances, be compared to your new BMW. Go around them with a fine toothcomb and you will find faults. They all have them unless they are presented as concours! They all need ongoing love and care. They tend to leak oil in varying degrees. They may break down, play up or even present you with a mystery that takes some solving. But that is all part and parcel of classic car ownership. They are there to be loved and cherished like a family pet. They are our motoring heritage and should be treated as such. This old girl for example is now 51-years-old.
