I've had two SD1's in my time, although not a Vitesse sadly. They could, and should, have been such a great car, but in usual BL manner they botched most of them. When they are sorted out properly, they a brilliant cars IMHO.

My V8 was a bit of a dog in Mexico Brown (lovely!) but I had a 2.6 VP in superb condition. Pity about the engine though. Used more fuel than the V8  :shock:

Has yours had the self levelling rear suspension removed? I always felt they were much nicer with a standard setup.
