Grabbed a quick shot of this well-preserved Triumph Vitesse in the street the other day. The "J" suffix on the registration makes it a 1970 car.

Triumph Vitesse

The crisp Michelotti styling has stood the test of time quite well to my eye. Still looks sharp.

When I was fifteen, a classmate who was a few months older than I, and from a well-to-do family, called and asked me to meet her near where I lived, so she could show me the present her father had bought for her: a white Triumph Vitesse DHC.  I wonder if she still has it...

That kind of car driving by, top down, just has to put a smile on your face.

I have always liked the looks of the Vitesse for it's clean lines. The one pictured looks to be in mint condition.
