The wheels are early Sterling jobs, and all wrong for the car. The bodykit is part TWR, but also looks to be part home-brew. Also, it's the worst thing I've seen in my entire life, and the berk who thinks it's worth three grand needs to return to the laboratory for reprogramming.

I would go so far as to say it’s not a Vitesse, by that stage the Vitesse was effectively a Sterling hatchback, fully loaded with leather , auto , electrics etc. Just checked on Vehicle Smart and it’s an 827, presumably from the factory type reg number , one of those oddballs that somebody threw some random TWR bits , maybe a staff purchase or something.

It's a shame there are no interior pics to verify the trim level; the only pic inside is of the instrument pack, which is MK1b (no voltmeter or oil pressure gauge). That end-of-the-line bodykit would have included the wing, but the bumpers here are definitely MK1a fit, the MK1b stuff jutted out much farther. So yes, somebody has taken an 827 (or possibly one of the last Vitesses that weren't Sterling Fastbacks) and bunged a load of older stuff on it, aside from that absolutely heinous grille, which is newer. What they've ended up with is a load of poorly assembled old bollocks. RobT and NorfolkNWeigh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
