THE TRIUMPH VITESSE
The Triumph Vitesse was launched in May 1962 in both saloon and convertible versions. It was based on the successful Triumph Herald that had been introduced in 1959 and shared many of its components, including the chassis and very stylish Michelotti bodywork. For the Vitesse this bodywork now featured a reworked front end, accommodating the twin headlamp arrangement that gave origin to the distinctive slant eyed look that makes the car so instantly recognizable. Unlike the Herald's small 4-cylinder engine, the Vitesse was fitted with a six-cylinder 1.6-liter unit that gave it a level of performance that would surprise or even embarrass owners of some sports cars of the time.

The only record I could find for sales for this car was online. Amelia island auction 2015 for a 1963 that sold for $26,000. That car could have been concourse condition? I want to sell the car. my reserve is a lot lower than that. The Sports 6 i'm selling is in good condition as I stated. The reason for selling is age, and to many aches. I/'m downsizing cars....good luck in you bidding....dale....727-940-7460
