mpbarrett Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 Seen on the CT forum. See https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/triumph-herald-vitesse-/222889642776 Vitesse with Bond rear end to make a coupe or fastback.... A bit different from you normal Triumphs!

Colin Lindsay Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 Now that's interesting... the owner says it's a Herald, the bonnet is Vitesse and the rear end is Bond. The V5 also says Vitesse so it's more than just a Bond with a Vitesse bonnet. I wonder how that will affect things like historic class / modified status for the new owner? It's not as if you can say nothing and hope no-one notices... if it was any closer I'd consider it myself, just for the fun of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpbarrett Posted March 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 Actually I quite like it, not as good as Chris Gunby's real fastback but not bad. mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave.vitesse Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 First pass - Four cylinder Bond rear end, Vitesse/1360 chassis, Vitesse Mk2 dash and the engine is either a 1600 or a Mk1 2 Litre. Doors bottoms look like the tin worm is at work. Looks good with the bond rear end. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougbgt6 Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 DVLA say 1600 2017 MOT says 23k miles 2016/5 MOTs say mileage unreadable. How can that be? Doors and bonnet don't fit well, I would guess the sills have been inaccurately replaced. The drivers door has been "carefully" photographed at an angle from the back, but the overhang at the bottom is large. db Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 Like any unknown quantity, expect a large amount of work and anything less is a bonus. We had one over here in the 1990s, it was locally known as The Bonald - blame age but I can't remember if it was a Herald with a Bond bonnet, or a Bond with a Herald bonnet....
