Matt thats clearly a private plate and not original to the car so can't do anything with that, but if you give me the chassis number when you get it and I'll tell you when it was built.
Don't be surprised though if it turns out to be a lot older than you think, production ended on the 17th September 1998 and strangely some Vitesse's hung around for a long time before being sold.
I'll go through the database and find the chassis number of the last Vitesse built.

Last Coupe Vitesse SARRSCCVGXM260759 reg S408MFL
Last Saloon Vitesse SARRSWLVGXM260873 reg T622CNV
Last Fastback Vitesse SARRSWWVGXM260894 reg V878KBH

The last 800 ever built was chassis number 260898 which was a 2.5 KV6 Sterling Saloon donated to Gaydon and since sold off in their clear out auction a few years ago.

That might have been sold via Henly's on the Weedon Road in Northampton. They were the big Rover dealer at the time.

The plate is worth that on its own Matt! I hate to say it but not only could it be sold to Rover Vitesse owners but also owners of Citroen Saxo VTS models. Of course it would quadruple the value of the Saxo while making the Rover more viable as a purchase. Either way, you've got a bargain!
Cheers,
Dave
