  1. Vitesse 6 Hood Frame

    in Bodywork & Fittings

    Posted

    Hi!  Can someone help me!  I have a Hood Frame in 2 parts!  The Back Section is connected by a "Shoulder Bolt! Part No 609244 No41" which connects the Rear Frame to the Front Frame?  "Canleys" do not do them,  any Ideas?  as I need the correct width and length bolts?

    Kind Regards Martyn

  3. Vitesse 6 Rear Brake Flexi Hose

    Hi,  I have a 1966 Vitesse 6 Convertible and am in the process of sorting out the Rear Brakes.  I removed the Rear Flexi Hoses and found that they are 4 inches longer than the recommended GBH175 Hoses.  The GBH175 Hoses are too short when I tried to fit them, so I tried the Front Flexi Hose GBH216 and they turned out to be a better fit?  Any Ideas!!   Many Thanks Martyn

  6. Vitesse 6 Conv - KYK711D

    i All!   Update:   DVLA have now sent me 8 Pages of History Information on 1966 KYK711D Vitesse Mk1 1600.   The paperwork takes the Car back to London in 1968.  I am the 6th Owner and No 5 Owner only had the vehicle for 4 Months for a fast turn around? (must have realised how much work it needed?).  The paperwork consisted of all the V5s from 1978 to Date and "Changeover Slips" etc with Addresses and Dates as far back as 1968.  I am aware that there was a Fire in a London Council where the car was registered (1966-1968) and all records where destroyed!  KYK lived most of its life in inner London and the Margate area. Not bad for £5.00

     

    Many Thanks

  14. Vitesse 6 Conv - KYK711D

    in My car's history

    i All,  I received a letter from former TSSC Member "Dick Plumridge" on 29th Apr 2003 stating that my vehicle YK in KYK711D was originally a London issued Registration.  Sadly these were amongst the records destroyed.  I am now ready to contact the DVLA to request Individual information about my vehicle.  Again the last report (letter 2003) I received was that KYK711D was around the 13th Oldest on the Vitesse Register at TSSC?  Does anyone have any further update on this?  Many Thanks Martyn

    Hi,  I am Martyn and I joined as a Member back in 2003 when I lived in Newton Abbot and our meets where at "The Sun Inn".  I found KYK711D (Vitesse 6 Conv) in a barn on the top of Totnes.  Drove it to my home and dismantled it.  It has since received a New Chassis, Door Sills a few other new body panels and a lot of welding.  On moving back to Wales in 2006, the car was sent to my cousin up in Hereford as the people who welded the car took the body off the Chassis and after welding, it would not fit back on!  In all it had to be taken apart and rewelded.  The Vitesse 6 is now in primer and needs to be resprayed(Original Navy 56) and put back together.  This I was going to do in March this year but ended up with a Slipped Disc, so hopefully I will start the process next Month?
