Re: Mercedade's '98 Vitesse in BRG

Re: Mercedade's '98 Vitesse in BRG
Richard, I've actually been out looking and nothing looks anywhere near as nasty on the previous two cars. The previous owner had changed from the cat back and those nuts look pretty good, whilst the other ones have significantly more material than the 827 did! Plenty of plusgas and WD40, and I rec...

1996 onwards Vitesse gearbox FOC
Hi all. I have a Rover 820 vitesse gearbox going FOC.

Which is good as rover quote only 29mpg ave/mixed driving. I wanted some rover sports for it but neve...

Re: New member with Vitesse Sport
Hi it is a quite rare model as it was only made under the Vitesse "sport" name for 2 years (1994 to 1996) In 1996 the vitesse range was all made to Vitesse sport spec so the "sport" name was dropped.
