Hi! Pete! The Cooper/Black/Bronze plate is on the same side as the Cmm Plate, I will check it when I get the car back from the Body Shop...Thanks for your Help Hi Dave! D you know how many Mk1 Vitesse 6 Conv there are in the TSSC? Cheers Martyn

I really don't know? I just re-read the letter and it states that and I quote "At the moment(29 Apr 2003) there are only about a dozen Vitesses 6s later than yours , known to the register!" Comm No: HB33176 CV where is the Body No? I have the comm plate and also on the car is a "Black/Bronze plate"? I have the copies of DVLA searches going back to the first owner with the Owners Name & Address in 1968 (Stamped Kent CC 27 Nov 1968) then the 1st Change a Mr Skipper S.W.20 (no Date) and lined out? then 2nd Change: Mr Geldkorn N.W.20, dated 24-11-70 and attached to this is "Extract from Reg Doc Kent CC 16 Jan 1970" which has Comm No HB33176CV and Body No as HB33259HE which is also the Engine No! Does this make sense? Cheers Martyn

Hi All! Some years ago I owned a YTH190N Triumph Spitfire Mk4 in Blue. Yesterday I was going through some photos and found 2 x pictures so I went onto the DVLA sight to see if it was still on the road! To my surprise, I found the car Logbook was issued in Nov 2019 but now in Red and was wondering if anyone in the TSSC owned it? I also found a couple of pictures of my old Dolomite 1850 Reg BDG377K, but this was not showing any information! Cheers martyn

Hi, I have 1966 Mk1 1600 Convertable (12 July 66) they finished this model in September 1966), and back in 2003 was told by the TSSC that mine was the 12th./13th oldest in the Club! (No actual figures where given)? When I rejoined in 2017, TSSC could not give me any information whatsoever due to Data protection? Cheers Martyn

Hi All! I used Maguires Lens cleaner on my Volvo XC90 as they were clouding up, and it works really well! Martyn

Hi! Have a look at Paddocks Triumph? Under "Body Fittings" FS2704 "Seat Runner Front to Floor" and FQ3406 " Cheers Martyn

Hi Tom! Welcome back! I agree, that prices can vary dramatically, To be honest, I tended to use Canley Classic a lot? "Dave" also has Secondhand Parts available? and he is reasonable on those too. I have sourced parts from Members at Sports Six and Ebay, its a case of checking every price that you have, but if in doubt contact the Club for information the Members are brilliant and you also get a bit of banter to lift your day! Good Hunting Martyn

Hi I got my carpets from Don Hoods! I have not opened them yet as still putting Vitesse back together! Not sure if they do moulded. .....Best ...Martyn

Should have asked, I paid £10 for a Vitesse Laminated Coloured Wiring Loom Diagram, could have sent you a copy? Okay wrong car??? Cheers Martyn

Hi! Had them on the car when I found it back in 1998 but went into storage and a lot of the bits got nicked! Including Hood and Frame? so up the creek without a paddle! Thanks for the info, "your car looks nice" mine is the same colour(56) but a Mk1 1600/6 Cheers Martyn

Thanks Gary! I have never seen one? but do I need one for my roof is the question? Cheers Martyn

Hi All! 33 been watching but no comments? Must be able to get one from somewhere? Cheers Martyn

Hi All! Thanks for the Information. Just had a message from Dave at Canley. He had one there but said it was rusty! He checked his cars and said that the plate was missing from all of them and basically not to bother. I will more than likely weld the hole up? Many Thanks Martyn
