About the Vitesse Convertible
The Vitesse Convertible is the most desirable. Smooth six-cylinder, open-air motoring. Values from £18k for good Mk2 examples.
Known Issues to Watch For
Vitesse: Engine: Straight-six - lovely but early 1.6 has weak bottom end, 2.0 stronger. Timing chain, carburettor setup. Rear suspension: Pre-Mk2 has swing-axle - dangerous at limit. Mk2 has wishbone - much safer. Chassis: As Herald - check outriggers, crossmembers thoroughly. Body: Steel, rusts. Convertible seals need attention. Values: Rising - the gentleman's Herald. Mk2 convertible most desirable. Budget £1.5-3k annually.
Desirable Options
Stag manual + overdrive (rare), Vitesse Mk2 Convertible, Herald Convertible, Sorted Stag engine (documented work), Hard top
