820 Vitesse Turbo Fastback for Sale
Hi all - not mine, but this belongs to another enthusiast who lives nearby. Previous to this it belonged to a forum member on here.
It is an 820 Turbo Vitesse in metallic pewter, Fastback, and has done about 90,000 miles. It has been used sparingly and the MOT has just expired. I last saw this car about a year ago and it was in good condition and much loved..
The car will also come with a very large stash of spares, all sorts of useful bits including new wings etc, a brand new boxed sunroof, spare mirrors, instruments etc, a whole host of new and used parts.
The car has recently (last week) been in for an MOT and I understand has failed on a few points which are beyond the owner's capabilities:
Form what I have been told:
Welding to inner sills
Brake pipe corrosion (not sure which)
New brake discs required (again not sure which)
I also believe that there are discs in amongst the stash of spares offered, so it could be pretty straightforward, depending upon the extent of welding required - I have not seen this or the fail sheet for myself.
Including the stash of spares ( and I have seen it - it's enormous!) the owner is looking for £400 ono.
If you are interested in making an offer or getting in touch to have a look at the car, drop me a P.M and I will put you in touch with the seller.
The seller is very genuine, open and honest and is keen to see that the car and collection of bits goes to a good appreciative home. However - it's not my car, and as I say I am posting this on behalf of another enthusiast but can't say more about it than I have written here - these are the only photos I have been sent - any more will have to come from the owner!
Cheers! Rich

Re: 820 Vitesse Turbo Fastback for Sale
Hi Rich - probably comes a few months too early for me (I've got a house move to complete first), but whereabout is this one based? I'm presuming Derbyshire but that covers a fair old patch!

Re: 820 Vitesse Turbo Fastback for Sale
Ah! I've just seen the pictures (my work PC won't allow me to) and now it all makes sense! I know the car, and the owner.
A great, great car - and owner too. The stash of spares is HUGE. Would love to take it on, just bad timing.

Re: 820 Vitesse Turbo Fastback for Sale
Ditto: space permitting I would have it in a shot too!
You're right though Deano - I tapped the reg into the MOT checker after I tapped up the ad, and it is quite a list - often though it seems worse than it is though - e.g there's a separate failure point/ line for each brake disc but one would always replace them as a pair anyhow.
Sounds like the sills are the main sticking point...

Re: 820 Vitesse Turbo Fastback for Sale
yes your right , but in fact I think the discs themselves were just advice
corrosion on all 4 brake pipes , handbrake travel and welding on all 4 corners were the main parts.

Re: 820 Vitesse Turbo Fastback for Sale
no tom, i could have 10 if i wanted, she likes cars, she just tolerates 800s, but I've a house to finish and other stuff, and the fact i have another 820 vitesse already, she is gonna say why do you want 2 of the same car when your not really going to drive the first one as i already have the 827 as a sunday and summer car.
