yes they shrink had one i took off stored for a few years ended up like yours . did close better when left out on a very hot summers day. beware pulling it tight on the screen catches can cause problems latter on with door shutting l learnt the hard way paul

what does it shut like with out the door seals fitted , on mine had wrong seals pushed the door out of line , last vitesse used a lump hammer 4x2 lined up then made good before painting, but agree rear wing does not look right in pics .

sure less wear engine gets to temperature lot quicker when driven can push the choke home a lot quicker than sat at idle

better to start on choke drive the car push the choke in as soon as the car will run with out it less engine wear that way .

the 1600 does have the small output flange, box will not fit though

you only know the true condition when you actually see it , i sold a very nice looking vitesse 1600 for £4000 a while back it was a peace of sh.t chassis wise like a patchwork quilt , then turned up a few months latter for sale by a well known classic dealer describing it as a gem one of the best for £16000 took him 2 years but he sold it , pity the new owner .

used chemical metal putty on my vitesse 1600 seemed to work well for the time i owned it just over a year, not sure how good long term though,
