Triumph Vitesse 2-Litre MkIGet a Vehicle Valuation

The whole world loves a small car with lots of power and a air of luxury, well that pretty well sums up the Vitesse. The Vitesse is much more of success now than when it was new and at the time was outsold by the Herald by nearly ten-to-one. This was mainly due to the Vitesse being 20% dearer and using more fuel than the Herald. The 2-litre (Mk1) model was an inevitable development of the Vitesse 6, as the larger engine was first used in the Standard Vanguard 6 two years before the launch of the Vitesse and went on to power the Triumph 2000 saloon. As well as taller gearing and wider wheels, the 2-litre was also treated to larger front brake discs. The suspension was left unchanged, and many considered that the extra power could overstretch its abilities. Overdrive was an optional extra and is worth paying more for a car fitted with it. In the past Convertibles tended to be more expensive than Saloons, however in recent years the prices have become closer. Before you purchase a Convertible make sure you buy a real one and not a modified Saloon. The commission plate should have the suffix code CV on it. If in doubt obtain the factory information, a Heritage Certificate, from the Gaydon Heritage Motor Centre.A Saloon modified to a Convertible will be worth less than an original model.
