Totally original (apart from wheels)
Genuine 'CV' model
Original engine
Store since 1991
2 previous owners
Thank you for looking at this advert. Examples like this do not come around very often and I will endeavour to give a good appraisal of the car.
The Vitesse was registered in April 1971 and was one of the last produced as it features a rare steering lock. I have the original service book for the car but am awaiting the V5 which should be with me soon. The Vitesse was last taxed in 1991 and is believed to have been stored since and was recently unearthed following a bereavement.
It looks to be very original and unrestored. It has Dolomite sprint alloys but apart from that it appears to be just as it left the factory.
The mileage is showing 43000 and is still the original engine.
The Vitesse has, however, succumbed to rust with corrosion on most panels. the doors are very poor as are the rear wings . The floors are good and the chassis looks to be quite solid. I have had a prod and a poke especially around the rear chassis area and all seems quite solid, but no doubt some work will be needed when it is stripped back. The worse part is the rail above the windscreen which has corroded and the windscreen itself is cracked. The front wheel arches are corroded as are both front and rear valances.
The interior whilst being very dusty and dirty is not too bad. The seats are good as is the dashboard. The Vitesse hood has a tear in a side window but the frame seems good. The carpet has worn out!
Mechanically the Vitesse is complete . The engine turns on the ignition key and would probably start with minimal effort. It is a non oeverdrive model. The exhaust is hanging off.
Make no mistake the Vitesse needs a lot of work (mainly bodywork) but is a perfect example to restore due to its originality.
I am a massive Triumph Vitesse fan and buy and sell classic cars.
I can arrange delivery throughout the UK at a great price
