The full restoration was carried out in our Ipswich workshops and thereย are hundreds of photographs detailing this concours rebuildย at all stages.

As you will see by the photographs, the car has been totally dismantled and has been subject to a full concours nut and bolt restoration.

The box chassis is prone for rust and its method ofย construction isย it’s weakness.ย As youย can see by many of the photographs available, the chassisย has been totally rebuilt to concours standards.

The carย is finished inย white with red trim, convertible roof and carpets.

The dashboard and doorย cappings are refinished in walnut burr toย Rolls Royce standards.

We have modified the Mk1 dashboardย by removing the ashtray, resitting the switching andย we have installed more dials in keeping with its era.

It is a lovely modification and makes the car stand out in the crowd.

The chrome is either rechromed or brand new.

The internals of the engine, gearbox and carbs are totally rebuilt and detailed to concours condition.

All running gear has beenย renewed or replaced to concours standard.

New wiring loom, electrics, upgraded lights and alternator.

The carย has ย been upgraded where possible with modern fitmentsย whilst ensuring no loss of any originality.

There are a choice of wheels as we have colour coded GT6 wheels in black and white or there are the original wheels with hubcaps.ย 

All have new tyres.

Aย Vitesse rebuilt to this standard ensures show winning capability or just a sound investment for the future.
