1998cc, manual. Finished in Valencia Blue, this charming Triumph Vitesse has had only 2 registered keepers from new, a father and son who used it until 2005. It was then put into storage before being sold through one of our sales in 2024, and put back on the road. We sold it again to the present vendor in July 2026, but the V5C's last recorded change of keeper was in 1995.

The car presents in smart overall condition, with a blue interior to complement its exterior (although the car was originally registered as grey). It comes with a collection of receipts for parts and maintenance, some dating back to the early 1980s. These are accompanied by previous and current versions of the V5C, MoT certificates from the 1980s, handbook, original registration book and the service book which records the car's first 10 services up to 71,844 miles in 1989. Today the odometer is showing 75,748 miles.

Also present are a spare lock barrel and keys, a few old photos of the car, and various relevant manuals including a hardback restoration manual.
