1962 Triumph Vitesse Six

Description

Appealing pre-facelift Vitesse Six FHC from five-year ownership; 1.6-litre six-cylinder twin-carb engine; front disc brakes; Webasto sunroof 

Dating from December 1962 this handsome Michelotti-styled Triumph Vitesse Six FHC is finished in powder blue with the usual white streak down the sides and distinctive 'Chinese-eye' quad headlamp front end. Sat on its original wheels with standard front disc brakes, the car looks well.

Under the bonnet, we find the 70bhp 1596cc six-cylinder engine fitted with twin Solex semi-downdraught carbs driving the rear wheels via four-speed manual transmission which made it good for a claimed top speed of 90mph.

Inside this pre-facelift example we find the large single dial as found in the Herald, wood dash and door cappings, two replacement front seats in cream vinyl and pull back Webasto-style sunroof.

The history file includes only the V5C showing six former keepers to the current business owner of five years.

Starting promptly and running well as we moved it around for these photos, this looks to be a good, solid, pre-facelift Vitesse Six at an appealing price-point.
