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 interior of the car was again very similar to the Herald but benefited from some additions such as wood veneer door cappings. Like the Herald. the Sports 6  also underwent some styling changes and mechanical improvements throughout its production run of  In 1963 the chassis was strengthened.
