Hi Sue, sorry for the delay in replying. Yes that would be great if you could book myself and Alison in for lunch on 7th Jan. Thanks

Nice car 👍🏻

Thanks Sue. We’re both looking forward to meeting everyone and the Smugglers sounds like a good opportunity. Could be a good way to start the new year 😊👍🏻

👍🏻

It’ll be nice to meet some new faces probably in the new year now

Thanks again for the messages. A few more ideas to think about. Back in the 60s/70s if you had 70bhp+ you thought you were king of the road. These 3 cylinder turbos make a mockery of those old cars 😁 Our daily is a Citroen C3….. goes like a rocket 😄

It is the top of the drive which is the problem. When the rain stops I’ll have another go at it. Will report back.

Thank you all. It is a 2 litre Mk1 with O/D. This picture is the day it turned up on a trailer. Lovely and sunny morning and then the heavens opened when it got here 🙄 It’s got a cover over it at the moment. But had a set back with the garage. You can probably tell from the photo that the drive down to the garage is a steep angle. I cleared the garage ready for the car, but can’t get down the drive without ripping the exhaust off. Trying to thing of a Plan B at the moment….. blocks of wood or something 🤔 Ive been on the look out for a Vitesse for a while when I came across this one. Crawled around it and was so impressed I bought it. It does have some bubbly bits but to me nothing too bad. I have got it booked for an MOT so I’ll find out soon 😳

Should read 50 years not 59 🙄😁

Forgive me but I was brought up be my dad to be a Ford man, and nearly all the cars I’ve owned since I passed my test in 1972 have been Fords. In the day I always liked the look of Triumphs and at last, after 59 years ( ! ), I’ve got one. In 2020, after I retired, I joined the Torbay Old Wheels Club, and sneaked in my 1998 Ford Cougar. A bit young for the club but what you might call a modern classic. Anyway, after three years of fun with that, I have seen the light, sold it and bought a Vitesse. I think it has previously been in the club, and if anyone has any info on it, it would be interesting to hear. I’ve only had it a week, and my wife Alison and I have done a couple of runs in it, but it feels like Christmas come early. Can’t wait for some better weather.
