1975 Triumph 1500TC – Dry stored since 2015 – Extensive history file
Purchased in 2002 from a private seller in Reading (having had 3 owners since 1975) and cherished by my late brother-in-law, this largely original Triumph 1500TC has been dry stored since 2014 and is now being offered for sale as a recommissioning project.
The car is complete and comes with an extensive history file including V5C, MOT certificates, invoices, receipts, keys and manuals collected over many years of ownership.
It has not been started or driven since being placed into storage and should be regarded as a non-running project requiring full recommissioning. The buyer should collect by trailer.
The first photographs show the car before storage (circa 2011). The remaining photographs show its present condition.
This is an increasingly rare Triumph 1500TC that has been in one family's care since 2002 and comes with an extensive history file built up by its late owner, who was meticulous in maintaining and documenting the car.
The car has been dry stored since 2014 following the owner's death and has remained untouched rather than being repeatedly started or partially restored. It is an honest, complete example that retains its original character and would make a rewarding recommissioning project for a Triumph enthusiast.
Included with the car are the V5C, keys, MOT certificates, service invoices, receipts and manuals, together with additional spare parts and wheels.
The first photographs show the car before it was placed into storage (circa 2011), with the remaining photographs showing its current condition. It is sold exactly as it has been found after long-term storage, allowing its next owner to assess and recommission it properly.
I first saw this car when my late brother-in-law would take it to classic car shows and Triumph events. He was a member of the Triumph Dolomite Club and took great pride in looking after his cars. This was never his everyday transport – it was kept for special occasions and enthusiast events.
I hadn't seen it again until last week when I opened the garage for the first time in many years. It remains a remarkably complete and original car, and comes with the extensive history file, receipts and documentation that he carefully kept throughout his ownership.
I hope it finds a new owner who will enjoy recommissioning it and seeing it back on the road, where it belongs. My brother in law would have loved that.
