From the listing :

Minor faults are:

Clutch pedal is floppy in operation (but has been like this since I have had the car and selects all gears o.k.)

ABS light is sometimes on or off

Tick over sometimes is erratic

Runs and drives very well

Runs and drives very well is a minor fault? :shock: :? The erratic tickover is easily fixed though - top the coolant up to the correct level! :roll:

Personally I see no leather as a plus these days. Not freezing in the winter and not boiling hot in the summer. Especially without air con like in that car.

Those are the original Vitesse alloys Dean, only on the Mk1 though. Some Vitesses had leather but the later ones were half-leather Recaros i think.

Yes I bought it and love it. I was lucky to get it as it was being sold to someone else but he wasn't picking it up as he said so I snatched it up.Ive given it a full power polish and its gone from white to mega white.Drives fine now after the 250 mile trip home but I think a gearbox oil change and clutch bleed is on the list to be done.
I left messages on the forum for a mk1 vitesse months ago and my eyes nearly popped out of my head when I saw this on eBay.I had to quickly sell a Nissan 300zx to make way for the rover in my garage.
Believe me this car looks amazing with very minor problems to sort out
Well worth the wait

This car used to be shown at Peterborough BL Rally, with identical looks to my old automatic Vitesse 'CPA'. I think you've done well there, fair money for a good MK1.
