1964 Triumph Vitesse 6 1600

Highlights

• Accompanied by three folders of receipts, old MOTs, and old tax discs
• Long list of replacement parts and refurbishment work documented by receipts
• Bequeathed within the family

The Appeal

The Triumph Vitesse 6 paired the compact, stylish Herald-based body with a smooth 1,600cc inline-six engine, offering a more refined and sporting alternative to its four-cylinder sibling. With its distinctive Michelotti styling and lively character, it's become a particularly popular saloon, a sharp-featured executive car that could turn heads and stir driver and passenger alike.

This 1964 example arrives with a history file comprising three folders of receipts for parts and labour, old MOTs, and tax discs, documenting a significant investment over the years. The body is reported to be in fairly good condition with only minor surface wear, all strictly age-commensurate. Inside, the seats have been refurbished. Bequeathed to the seller's family by their uncle, this Vitesse 6 presents a well-documented basis for continued enjoyment. It's a well-kept, well-documented car that ticks plenty of boxes.
