But it is a mighty fine blue jumper... The plan is to do a proper video with Chris and the Vitesse coupé at the TSSC's HQ next year, where you'll be able to see everything - inside, under the bonnet, and the rear three-quarter shot that you're so desperate to see...
My vote is restore it to look exactly as it did rolling off the production line at Canley. What a brilliant find and what a beautiful car it will be.. 👏👏👏👍👍👍
Very interesting video, remember the car from the club stand last year. P.s. Thank you for putting the accent on coupé, people have stopped doing it and it drives me up the wall!
The 1600 Vitesse is a lovely jewel of a car. I am surprised this was a one-off. There must have been some demand for this... in period this was quite a rakish look. A Vitesse 1600 with overdrive was some sort of Herald GTi. Small, understated and really very swift and capable for a car of that type on the 60s.
Would have been nice to see all the car not a blue jumper
just what i was thinking, do a whole article about something that you’re standing in front of
Same here.
Ironically the only part of it that differentiates it from a standard one is the bit right behind him, incredible.

He makes a better door than a window. I thought at first that he was just hiding the 'coupe' part in preparation for a reveal.

The coupe hardtop was just bolted on wasnt it? So its a vitesse with a bolted on roof nothing else?
I vote for get it running and show it, if people want to see it fully restored down the line perfect but as a static display that's not for me.

Sometimes it's the little things...!

If it were original patina I,d say leave it but since it was rubbed down recently it makes sense to go back to the original colour paint job
Wow !
Triumph ‘Speed’ in the French market?
" Nothings unique about the car, apart from it was a one off " Clasic line Haha
