1970 Triumph Vitesse MKII Convertible For Sale

My 1970 Triumph Vitesse Mk2 Convertible in Laurel Green with overdrive (3rd & 4th)

I have loved this car for the last 9 years or so and it is with a heavy heart that I have decided to sell.

I have spent a small fortune over this time mainly on the mechanical aspects, including...

New differential from Fitchetts with new C/ W and pinion
Rebuilt overdrive gearbox from Fitchetts also, but obtained secondhand.
CV drive shaft conversion, replacing the roto flex, makes for a more direct drive.
New rear spring and telescopic shock absorber conversion by Manvers Triumph.
Rebuilt engine in 2019 by Anglian Triumph Services, to standard spec with a +. 20 bore, balance. Approx. 600 fun and trouble free miles since! Also informed that the head is fine for unleaded fuel.
Stainless steel extractor manifold and large bore semi sports exhaust.
Mohair hood in very good condition.
Cosmic Mk2 period alloy wheels
Other things that I can't think of I'm sure.

Drives so well and is real joy and lots of fun, I will genuinely miss it, but I have other projects that I would like to complete and am not using it very much, hence the sale along with others from my collection.

Very solid chassis wise with some patches as expected I guess.

Unfortunately the slight let down is the paint work; it has flaked in places and is thin in others, but still brushes up well and is really presentable.

Interior is really good too, one small tear in the drivers seat. Replica original radio mount.

A really well sorted, solid car to enjoy driving, more than comfortable both locally and on longer journeys, I would drive her anywhere.

Recently recommissioned by ourselves with electrical work, tuning and remedial paintwork, other than that little history to speak of, so this car has no history but it has done about 4000 miles since 2011.
