Description

This 1962 Triumph Vitesse offers an engaging and charming drive, with its responsive 1.6-litre engine and manual gearbox delivering a direct, analogue feel on country roads. The compact saloon body makes it nimble around town while the classic steering and light controls reward an involved driver seeking character rather than electronic aids.

Practical for a classic, it seats four comfortably and is presented in white with recent service and a new MOT for peace of mind. Ideal as a weekend cruiser or a period daily, it balances classic appeal with simple mechanics that make maintenance straightforward and ownership rewarding.
