Pete Lewis Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 well the strombergs are not on a 62 1600 and the novel heater hose route is original ...to someone upgrades should be listed not keep bleating about the single speedo dont care how good its supposed to be your taking bread and butter classics out of reach obviously someone thought its worth it hope their dream doesnt go pop Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathew Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 Another classic beyond my grasp! I was lucky to own two gt6's but these are too high now. Spitfires still seam low by comparison, it must be because i own two!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that the Spitfire in the same sale went for £19k plus premium, I'm not sure that's true! 😄 Gully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prices have gone up a bit but not as much as mk3 and below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Flinn Posted April 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 I'm presuming the number plate was included in the sale too? Must be worth £5k plus on its own to the right person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 Am I remembering correctly that that car was in some way connected with the Club back in the 1990s? The VRM definitely rings a bell and I've just checked the photos to see a TSSC badge on the grille... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTV8 Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 It does look like a nice car - although that is a bigger price than I would ever consider paying. the thing that stood out to me was just how low those exhausts are sitting, when I used to fit these to Herald and Vitesses the pipework would be angled upward after the diff and the back-boxes fastened much closer to the boot floor. .....

Dick Twitchen Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 If it triggers any memories the photos were taken down in Old Portsmouth; complete with cobblestones and the old Garrison Church. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahebron Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 If you get rid of the pound symbol and put in NZ dollar that is the same price my dads Mk1 2l convertible last sold for. It was sold by the owner who bought it from my dad a few years back, it has few of my parts on it! I know what mistakes I made on that car to not remake on my own🤥 Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteH Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 The Mimosa Stag. (withdrawn) Looked reasonable. The interior might need a good clean, but if no serious "other" issues, looked about right ballpark?. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglefire Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 I happened across a classic auction on Youtube yesterday - and an F plate Ford Fiesta XR2 went under the hammer - something like a 8-10k estimate - sold for over £18k. Madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Flinn Posted June 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 Could be another record price for a Vitesse if the seller gets what they want?🤔 https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1347582 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely there can't be any model of BMW or Porsche that they haven't restored already? Take one plastic box off the engine, attach another, replace both headlights and bingo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris A Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 Looks nice. That's it! nothing more nothing less. For that money I'd buy maybe 3 different model Triumphs to go with the 13/60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
