Cover Illustration Lot 295 1965 Triumph Vitesse 2.0 Convertibile
Vintage & Collectable Cars 259
1965 TRIUMPH VITESSE 2.0 CONVERTIBLE Very rare car in South Africa, believed to be less than a handful on the road according to the Triumph club of South Africa. A real swinging sixties car with the superb 6 cylinder 2.0 litre engine. This example has been fitted with a modern 5 speed manual gearbox and Minilite wheels. Mechanically rebuilt, a few minor cosmetics are needed to complete this restoration.
R 140,000 - 180,000 296
1981 MGB GT Beautiful example of GT, this was the last year of a production run that lasted 20 years, making it one of the most popular classic cars made. The car is in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition. Just jump in and enjoy. Fitted with the highly desirable period sunroof.
R 120,000 - 180,000 297
1973 TRIUMPH TR6 Great example of the highly collectable and increasingly difficult to find Michelotti designed sports car. Extensively restored over the years, this is the most desirable 150 bhp model. Manual with overdrive, its a car destined to be recognised as the end of the period of real sports cars by Triumph, for their TR7 and TR8 were disastrous in comparison.
R 300,000 - 400,000
