Now I've not put this in the Ebay thread because: A) its in America B) I think its worthy of more than that! Item #170195098537   And here's a photo of it in period posted by a guy on the Club Triumph forum.  |

I do hope it doesn't still have the Triumph transverse leaf spring at the back. If it does it'll be only "Well cool" in a straight line  There is a Vitesse with a Jag V12 somewhere, though it has a custom spaceframe chassis rather than the original item. IIRC it had real Triumph bodywork rather than the usual spaceframe GRP outline. |

interesting. I always thought that bubble arches would look awful on a vitesse/herald. that just proves me wrong, don't it?  |

I have to agree with B&D about the arches - that looks great. Even if it does have the original rear-end it wont matter, there's no corners in the States anyway!!

It looks sooooo much better on the magnesium minilites, than the revo's its currently fitted with.
