1969 Bond Equipe Convertible Registration no. TOT 786H Chassis no. n/a
Based on the Triumph Herald, the Bond Equipe was a 2+2 sports car that was designed to be competitively priced against much more expensive rivals. First introduced in 1963 and styled by Lawrie Bond, the Equipe utilised the chassis, windscreen, scuttle assembly and the doors from the Herald, but otherwise the fibreglass body was entirely new. Offered as both a fastback GT and a convertible, the design of the Equipe was a surprisingly successful blend of subtle Herald styling cues but with a much sleeker body. Bought by the late vendor's husband in 1976, this 1969 convertible example has been dry stored in a barn since it was purchased over 45 years ago. Today the car has not been used for some time and is now being sold for restoration. The fibreglass body has held up remarkably well over the years and is solid, and the interior is also in a surprisingly presentable condition. The car is overall complete and comes with some history including its V5 log book. A rare car with good potential.
