Description

This car was imported from the UK to Sweden in 1983 by Bennetts Motors in Lerum, specialists in UK cars. They converted the car from right-hand drive to left-hand drive, hence the dashboard panel is from a slightly later model. The second owner purchased the car in 1989, renovated the body, and repainted it in its original Royal Blue color. Once completed, the car was fully registered in 1996. The third owner bought the car in 2003, and the current owner acquired it in 2008, cherishing it ever since. It has always been garaged and driven only during the summer months.

The owner, an expert on this car, loves driving it and ensures that anything worn or needing replacement is addressed promptly, keeping it in tip-top driving condition. This results in a big smile on your face when you're behind the wheel. All parts have been sourced from Triumph specialist Rimmer Bros in the UK, and the car comes with a lot of receipts and older documentation (see pictures). A recent major job included renovating the rear axle with special Timken taper bearings.

The car looks great and comes with a replacement white soft top roof. The bodywork is straight and clean with no rust issues, though the paint has cracked in places and has been like this for several years (see pictures). A lot of money and time have been spent on the car, making it a real pleasure to drive.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    This is a turnkey car, ready to be driven to the next classic car event. The owner promptly addresses any worn parts or necessary repairs. Extensive work has been done, including updates to the clutch, axle, brakes, exhaust, timing chain, and fuel system. Additionally, the car is permanently exempt from inspections, features nice wheels, and is equipped with good tires.

  • Interior condition:

    The car features a well kept red interior. The driver's seat has two small holes on the bolster, and the passenger seat has a small repair on the bolster, but overall the seats are in good condition. The door cards are well-maintained and the carpets are nice. The dashboard is clean and tidy, with all gauges functioning properly, and it boasts an original steering wheel that adds to the car's classic charm.

  • Exterior condition:

    The bodywork of the car is clean, straight, and well-maintained with no major rust issues. The underbody is exceptionally clean. Although the paintwork is generally shiny, it shows some cracks on the rear wing and front door, blisters around the windscreen frame, and minor scratches (see pictures). The car remains very presentable overall. It comes with a new replacement white roof due to a small scratch on the current one, and features bright and attractive chrome detailing throughout.

  • General condition:

    This car offers an extremely pleasant driving experience, boasting plenty of horsepower under the bonnet and a tight, well-maintained feel. The cosmetic issues, which have been present for a few years, do not require urgent attention. It's a truly unique car that any owner would enjoy owning and driving.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends.
