  7. Another Triumph Herald 13/60 Convertible in our collection. We found and purchased this car as a non runner with half of the engine dismantled and sitting in the boot. A reconditioned engine was fitted by us a few days later and now she purrs along.
  8. The collection of Triumph cars started with this Triumph Vitesse MK11 1970 . A very original solid car that I purchased from an enthusiast who hardly used her. We take her to the Dordogne France on a regular basis and drive her everywhere .
  9. I also have this this Triumph Herald 13/60 Convertible which I found sitting in a barn. It is a genuine 62,000 mile car . She required a little welding and then checking over ready for her MOT which she passed with no advisories. I was out in her yesterday.. she now drives great.
  10. Hello, Thought I would introduce myself. I am a classic vehicle collector and restorer. I live in the Peterborough area. Amongst my collection of vehicles I have a few Triumphs mostly convertibles. Red Triumph Vitesse Convertible MK11 1971 fitted with 2500cc engine and other mods. Blue Triumph Vitesse Convertible 1967.
  11. In answer to the questions. You cannot get details of previous owners anymore since 1st Sept 2017. Data protection act. In answer to the question about motorsport. I was told by the seller of the car he remembers the elderly lady and her daughter mentioning that her husband / father build the car for motorsport purposes, hence the larger engine.. The car is a 1971 model. It has three point harness as mentioned. Further investigation this evening shows a roll cage was once fitted.
  12. I have recently purchased a Triumph Vitesse MK11. The registration number is EYP 464J Colour red. Interior black. As far as I can find out it lived in Walton on Thames until 2006. I think the owner was a Mr Loader. A lady who was 80 years old had stored the car in her garage after her husband passed away. She did not want to sell the car due to sentimental reasons. It had been used in some sort of motor sport. Probably in the late 1990`s early 2000`s. It was red with a white side stripe. A 2500cc engine from a Triumph 2500 PI had been fitted. Other mechanical modifications had been carried out. It has red 3 point seat belts fitted. It has leather front seats perhaps from an MGF. It had lattice alloy wheels fitted. The car was sold to a gentleman who lived in Bookham Kent . It was recommissioned for the road but never used until I purchased the car last week. Can anyone remember the car in the 1980`s/ 1990`s.? I have enclosed a photo as I found the car. My contact number is 07811255242. Regards.
