Here is a picture of the vitesse, I have another picture of the wires that are now on it, i will post it when i find it and upload it. My Dad is currently finishing the restoration. We have had the car since mid-80's and i hope it have an MOT shortly! http://www.myphotolodge.com/usr/819/vitesse6.jpg

Yep Grace certainly loves the buses and was rather taken with the childrens train track too. And very pleased about the comment on my rover 800 being a favourite... well what can i say a 'woman' owns it..... no swearing on any replies (chuckle chuckle). Nice to meet all of you but haven't got a clue...

Had a good day, excellent venue. I think we left at the right time as the heavens opened and it is still chucking it down. Anyway some pictures... http://www.myphotolodge.com/usr/819/forum_meet_9-11.jpg Brad's lhd http://www.myphotolodge.com/usr/819/5105forum_meet_9-11.jpg http://www.myphotolodge.co...

We are going on the Friday. Want to spend time on the TR Drivers stand. They have said there will be some interesting TR's there.

Michelle and i were talking about the meet on Sunday and sadly because of the state of our finances at the moment we cannot bring both cars along. Sorry. But is there a preference to which one we do bring along - The Coupe you can see here or the Vitesse saloon in this post? http://www.rover800.info...

some people might think it rather sad to have such an interest but i find that era really fascinating. I have always known about the cars as i was a young lad whose father worked at a BL dealership but have since enjoyed learning about the problems, politics, unions and how close it came to folding.

There has been quite a lot of discussion about this car on the TR7 forum i frequent. The experts are saying that this is a standard pre-production car, was never rallied and was not one of the very rare sprint versions. It was on sale last year for £7000 and before its restoration for £800. You mi...

Welcome. I always enjoyed driving the MG Montegos, the efi and turbo. Nice cars, and as for the mk 1 Sterling, superb.

Michelle will be there in her Vitesse and i will be in the Coupe. We are looking forward to it. Oh yes, Grace the terrible 2 year old, with the 3 sixes on the back of her head will be in attendance also.

I think there was a conference or something.

Thanks for all the comments about the car, we will hopefully bring it along to the meet on the 9th November. Things that need doing are: Resolder the fusebox - windows, roof and interior lights, dash lights etc have a mind of their own! seat belt stalk on the passenger seat needs replacing one of th...

Yes a very understanding wife, there is a TR7 in pieces in the garage as well!

66k looks about right with the wear on the drivers seat bolster

The condition of the driver's seat was one of our first questions

I saw that reply - absolutely not its mine and its fantastic - Michelle (the wife)
