Fabulous views mind, all the way to the Alps.

Anyone ever have one of these then? Triunmph Vitesse 2 litre



I came so close to buying one when i was 19, but the insurance quote was too steep.
50 quid i think it was! lol:


Big G, see my post a few back where:

Quote from: Marley's Ghost
Also had a couple of Heralds and a belting Vitesse convertible - a later one with proper suspension at the back. Soft top it was - great for pissing off MGB drivers

So, to answer your question, yes. I owned one. Cracking car except for the worn out diff! Mine was yellow - a kind of canary, not the pale colour more often seen which IIRC Triumph saw fit to call 'Jonquil'.

Well, someone had to say it!

I wouldn't have thought anyone could jog fast enough to get round the banking.  ;)

With a feeling of dread I feel a re-run of the "Best Films Ever .. IMHO" thread fast approaching.

As discussed 'elsewhere', I really do think it's time you packed that back breakin' job in you know.

Very very good fellah. happy088

Is this from the new camera and can we expect more from your forthcomin' first trip abroad then?

I'll be nearly 2000 miles closer to BM in just over 2 weeks  eeek: so I'll see what I can come up with too.

What's your exact address again?  rubschin:



Degsy. Get some of those piccies printed, and made into a calender/ar. Then get them hiked around the local unmentionable forthcoming fares/fetes for a bit of handy festive profit.
I'll have one, no probs. happy088

I particulary luv the sunrise piccies. Well moody like. cloud9:
