An attractive manual-overdrive example of Triumph’s celebrated V8 grand tourer, finished in yellow and supplied with both a removable hardtop and folding soft top.
The car has been the subject of extensive restoration and mechanical work, supported by a large history file containing invoices, notes and photographs documenting the work undertaken. The accompanying records indicate that the engine was rebuilt at approximately 36,000 miles, including re-boring of the block, checking and machining of the top faces, and steam cleaning following machining.
Further work and replacement parts are understood to include an upgraded radiator, electric cooling fan, Stag Webber header tank kit, complete set of cooling hoses and clips, fuel pump and filters, alternator, distributor cap, HT leads, spark plugs, front brake calipers and hoses, rear brake cylinders, tyres, front lights and LED bulbs. Various seals, interior trim items and seat components have also reportedly been renewed.
The car is believed to have been dry-stored from 1994 until 2017, with a substantial programme of recommissioning and improvement subsequently undertaken between 2017 and 2023. The history file also includes earlier MOT certificates dating from 1988 to 1994.
Offered with its V5C, hardtop, soft top, extensive restoration and maintenance history, photographic record and a quantity of useful spare parts, including a new dashboard veneer set.
