HI all, I'm based in North London, have a 13/60 rat-like Herald and a recently acquired Vitesse Mk2 in what I would call incredible, maybe even concourse condition. It took the engineer I bought it from 9 years to complete. It is totally beautiful in just about every way and I'd love to take it to a couple of shows so people can appreciated just what this guy did in that 9 year period. It really is quite something. Not sure I want to drive all the way to Malvern for the big Triumph show, so just wondering if there are any London(ish) shows I could take it to. Any suggestions?

Nice one. It's a steep learning curve but I'm on it.

yes, a Club Member sale is what I am hoping for. I shall lurk patiently.

Yes, been looking at this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TRIUMPH-VITESSE-MK2-CONVERTIBLE-FACTORY-OVERDRIVE-GREAT-CAR-FROM-HCC/184321877118?hash=item2aea70a47e:g:W~kAAOSwcpte3lCW Seems very clean, has factory replacement engine (MEA ESS Silver Seal Replacement).

all very interesting. I shall get to know the 13/60 too. As mentioned above, I will be trying to get the best car I can, something that has been regularly improved and cared for is what I am after. Does The Courier mag have classifieds?

HI there, I'm new to the forum, and currently in the market for a MK2 Vitesse - have already seen about 4 new to the market in the last two weeks. I live in London, have managed to get a garage, have always had a soft spot for Heralds and Vitesses (they always turn up in my fave old films and my mate's mum at school had a rare estate version) but as I live in London an old car is a good idea from now on, with all the new charges coming in. Just wanted a bit of advise really - would members agree that a good, well maintained one would be a reliable run around, usable a few times a week. And also, where would be the best place to actually buy the best one I can find?
