I sit in amazement at the Triumph of 1936. Designed for men of 120lbs and 5'5" height. Did everyone smoke and eat sparingly back then? A very delicate looking car.
The 'boxy' Triumph Vitesse tuat ypu mentioned was released by Standard-Triumph International on 25 May 1962. It was not a 50s car, and it was built by a completely different company than the pre-war Triumph Company. Yes, the Vitesse you have there is absolutely gorgeous. Modern Sunroofs DO leak, even on very high end cars like Porschea and Aston Martin's. I do wish that people would do proper research before making videos!
So many times a car restoration with a wooden dash has that ugly and unsubtle piano finish with paint brush marks visible, which is so unsympathetic. So wire wool it (quadruple zero) all over, and then just bees wax it to get a silk finish. Or use 'Burnishing Cream' on the polish after the wool for a smoother surface, and hope that its a button polish, (as in antique furniture), not polyurethane! The car is fantastic otherwise.............
What a beautiful vehicle
This is one of the most beautiful cars I have ever seen. A credit to its owner.

My father nearly bought one here in NZ in the 1950's but he bought a 1939 Triumph Dolomite instead.
