ShaunBillBrown Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Hi all. I'm considering options for my 2L Vitesse Convertible as I head overseas for a couple of years. Selling it is one option, I could store it for free, or if a competent and trustworthy club member would like to borrow it that could be mutually beneficial. It's not a show car and has its niggles but goes and stops well enough, MOTd until late July. Let me know if you think of a good match! Thanks.

ShaunBillBrown Posted January 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Sorry, just realised this is in general technical. Not sure how to move on my phone. Or post photos... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomL Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 What a great offer. I don't personally need a Vitesse (I have one) but the idea of the car being kept running and on the road while you're away is a good one. You'd be advised to draw up a legally binding contract to avoid being abused and of course in fact with an aim to protect both parties. Do let us know how you get on...where are you heading off to for a couple of years? Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaunBillBrown Posted January 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Thanks. I'm going to Cyprus. Taking it with me is another option but I can't take my garage with me and I'm not sure how much provision there is for classic cars out there.

Eddie Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 I believe there is a fairly active classic car scene in the Greek part of Cyprus. I belong to a classic Ford club and we have a couple of members out there who regularly take part in runs and rallies. Also lots of old style breakers yards with 60s classics in them, many previously owned by UK military personnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 There is a thriving Triumph scene in Greece... although a grille badge I bought some months ago never arrived..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if you could put me in touch with any of them who might know if there's much in the way of trusted garages/mechanics? If there are plenty of those old-fashioned types then, as expected, they don't have much of an internet presence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
