1968 Triumph Vitesse MK2 Convertible lovely from HCC For Sale

HCC bring you a lovely Triumph Vitesse Convertible( factory CV ), first registered on 09/ 01/ 1969 , its a numbers matching colour correct vehicle thats had just 4 owners , the last one since June 86 who bought the car in a very poor state and then embarked on a long thorough full body off nut and bolt restoration which was a labour of love and expenditure over many years until the car was back on the road in a fully restored state . it has since been used sparingly having covered only circa 3000 miles and has proved to be a capable performer with a couple of decent length French trips on which the overdrive gearbox was a great advantage . Looks fantastic with just a couple (and only a couple ) of minor blemishes and bits that if the car dosnt sell reasonably quickly we will certainly do and retail at a revised much higher price ,
If you seek one of these its a must see...... call us for more detail or to arrange to view

Bodywork ::Super straight body in correct chassis number white , the door alignment is fantastic top to bottom , all body lines and accents are crisp and precise , one of the key points of the car is that any rot was removed , paint finish overall is extremely impressive , there are just a couple of very small areas that could be improved through usage most obvious is the small loss of topcoat at the top of the drivers door visible in pics . We could get these done but would prefer to sell the car as is so you the buyer can see there's nothing hidden under fresh paint.

Interior:: Lovely Black interior again correct to the chassis number , the seats are in great shape as are the carpets , floors have dynamat type sound/ heat matting in place , dash is in great shape , it has a bespoke engraved glove box lid which needs tinting and lacquering to match . Overdrive switch is on the gear lever , the whole interior is overall in excellent condition .

Engine Bay:: The original engine was totally rebuilt during the restoration and it purrs , it had a new radiator with kenlowe fan set up , Alternator , Hi torque starter , 6 branch Stainless exhaust manifold with full stainless dual sports exhaust , Spin on oil filter , New Strombergs were also fitted , Electronic ignition .

Underside :: The Body was removed and the chassis totally gone through , new outriggers fitted and then painted along with the suspension wishbones in smooth white , the floorpan is also fully smooth white finished , suspension has telescopic shocks on the rear , new rotoflex and all other components renewed and refurbished in the restoration lots of parts were cad plated and stainless bolts used where possible.

Wheels / Tyres ::Car rides on excellent Minilite style alloys with 165 tyres , its got a matching style spare .

Boot / Cargo area:: Is in great shape , its finished in white and has some usage marks but overall very tidy .

Hood / weathergear ::The Hood was renewed in the restoration and is still in great shape , windows are clear , it has the hood tonneau cover for when the hoods down .

Summary :: These are such a usable classic , of course now tax and mot exempt its a very well sorted car that sounds and looks fantastic Its got the right upgrades to make it a better/ more reliable driving experience , Its owner restorer put a lot of effort and funds into it on the restoration to produce a great example and everything was gone through . Mint cars are commanding strong prices and with a small amount of effort and very little expenditure it could be right up with them . Its a rock solid car that could be used as is and the couple of very tiny cosmetic areas undertaken when ever , we certainly will get the bits done and retail higher but you have the option for a short time to buy as is , Needs to be seen to see just how good it is . We will be doing a walk around video for long distance or overseas interest , if you wish to call me any day between 9am to 9pm id be happy to discuss the car with you in detail . Deposit secures but non refundable in all circumstances so please ensure you've done the homework , We can assist with trailered delivery (call for details/ pricing ) Comes with a nice file of history but not full. Come and see this beauty and judge it for yourself , it really is a cracking example ..............
