1860 Triumph Standard Vanguard Six

It’s the early 1960s. Ford isn’t yet producing anything special, but you crave a sports saloon. So, you visit a car dealership and discover the all-new Triumph Vanguard Six, a product of Standard. It features a new engine, the Triumph straight six, which would remain in production for another 26 years, finally concluding in the 1986 Rover 2300 and 2600 SD1. Today, fewer than a couple of dozen remain; most were wrecked in racing and during the 1970s’ with the boy racers. However, by the 1980s prices began to rise, making them no longer affordable. Even a rough one commands around £5,000 to £6,000, while a pristine example can fetch upwards of £20,000 and beyond. I recently purchased this car for myself which is solid and is just extremely mucky and need’s recommissioning, intending to either get it back on the road it and sell it or enjoy it as a fun weekend or daily driver. However, considering current fuel prices and my commute of at least 30 miles each way to work and 110 miles every Sunday, I’ll need to assess its practicality.
