The two litre convertible version of the Bond Equipe was launched in late 1968, and rather than using the Triumph Herald chassis, this new version used that of the Triumph Vitesse, as well as it's 6 cylinder 1998cc engine. This very cool example was registered in February 1969, so one of the first produced - though manufacture didn't last long - the last Equipe was completed in October 1970. The 2 litre Equipes are visually quite distinct from the older GT examples. Firstly the bonnet is much flatter, having the headlights either side of the grille, rather than in their own raised housing. And the convertible looks even more different still, lacking the characteristic curved roof.
