The Appeal
With a distinctive continental flair courtesy of Michelotti, Triumph's four-seater convertible was always bound to garner quite a legacy for itself, and it's become one of the most popular of the British classics. Fifty years on, you can now often spot rows of them at car shows, supported by one of the most enthusiastic communities in the motoring world.
This fine example comes to us in fine fettle, having had over £10,000 of work spent over the past few years. It's clearly been very much cherished, with both the car's hard top and soft top supplied with the sale. We're told that the car is beautifully following an engine rebuild and gearbox replacement, and we're sure plenty of collectors will be very excited about this opportunity.
