I got MrsW a 2L Vitesse just like that one but white. The seller was a well dodgy grifter because it had a dodgy MOT. Calipers were odd. Only one was a Vitesse, and only two pads out of the four touched the discs. The chassis was rotten, but it lasted long enough to teach MrsW how to drive, after I fixed the brakes. This was 1977, so it was around ten years old, but totally shot. We hand painted it using Dulux brilliant white and it looked amazing from a distance.
When I sold it at the end of the MOT, someone turned up in a VItesse, walked round it once and said it was the worst Vitesse he had ever seen, and bought it on the spot to restore. I also got my £100 back.
