Bfg Posted October 26, 2019 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 . Someone from near Cardiff rang me yesterday regarding a Norton Commando I have for sale. In the course of conversation I explained that I was all but giving up more powerful motorcycles and am looking to buy a Triumph TR4A.. With the mention of Triumph he then asked if I would be interested in a green with white Vitesse 1600 convertible that he's recently inherited from a cousin. I have my heart set on a TR4 so I'm not in the market for a Vitesse but I said I'd ask you guys if you might help with a current range of values for this model. He describes that car as being quite tidy but unused for the past three years. I looked in the classified section but there appears to be just one 2ltr Vitesse for sale at the moment, which of course doesn't help with his being a 1600.. Many thanks, Pete.

Pete Lewis Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 A well set up 1600 is very good and will give you a good smile its the sweetest engine and free reving If on strombergs it makes 82bhp some simple upgrades adds more, mine was a flyer You can see insurance valuation comparisons on the main website downloads under the https://www.tssc.org.uk/tssc/about.asp Whilst there were daft comments about 1600 parts not being available thats not correct its a s well supported as the 2ltr and with many parts for all being used up and less available theres not much difference in the supply line Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
