Gary Flinn Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 That is a bargain! some Mk2 Suspension parts presumably included in the sale too? Not sure about the Ethics of selling the V5 document though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally with that type of sale they inflate the price of the V5 is included, but not in this case. He must be confident of getting a good price in any case. I'm not sure about the bit where he mentions the GT6 2.5 engine - does he mean that every Vitesse he sees these days has a 2.5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark powell Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 Unusual on the original bill of sale to have had rubber bumpers fitted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveweblin Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 Always good to see original dealer paperwork such as this. The Newbury Cars Ltd of Muswell Hill item for my Triumph Car dealers collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave.vitesse Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 A late car, sorry for the pun. Yes why rubber bumpers, it looks like the standard Vitesse type were replaced with the Herald type. Not quite sure why the dealer was charging for a steering column lock as it was a late car and should have come with this as standard. The Smiths Radiomobile radio was a factory approved dealer option. The price given indicates to me it included the correct fitting kit. I agree with Colin, most GT6/Vitesse haven't acquired a 2.5 Litre engine. Just some. A good spot Paul. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteH Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 I looked at it, Hoping it may have an O/D Gearbox, sadly not. Question?, Would a Vittesse O/D Box transfer to a Herald?. BTW, my Herald is 1971. but no Steering Lock?. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a Herald or Vitesse was made in 1971 it should have been fitted with a Steering Lock. Your Herald may have been made in 1970, but sold in 1971. Also not everybody liked the lock, it could be a pain, and it may have been removed. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NonMember Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 1 hour ago, PeteH said: Would a Vittesse O/D Box transfer to a Herald?. No, because the input shaft is different, as Dave said. What you want is a Spitfire O/D box, preferably the 4-synchro MkIV or, for more originality, Mk3 or earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 reckon you can fit a spit/herald input shaft ive used a vit layshaft cluster matched to a spit input and its fine ( providing you change 2nd a 3rd to suit) but the input /constant mesh on the laygears are the same so a swap of just that would make it workable Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johny Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 Unfortunately a Vit/GT6 OD box is even more difficult to source than a Spitfires.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
