Rover Vitesse EFi on Watford Road

[jim barin]

is it still there? Seems such a shame to let it rust away, had an SD1 sometime ago, nice car, would have been even better if anyone but BL had built it.

Watford Road where ?

It might be

I know people on here are fairly good at answering questions around car identity etc. (a certain special excepted) but a few more details might be helpful

Eta: I presume you are refering to an SD1 Vitesse, not a 216 Vitesse EFi or an 827 Vitesse EFi?

If you mean the maroon one hidden behind the also rotten single rear door light blue mk2 Ford Transit, then yes it is. Though it's a Vandan Plas 2600 not a Vitesse.
Must have been there for over 25yrs now, no sign so far of it going. I drive or run past it most days, each time I half expect it to be gone.

Around the corner there was a yellow Vauxhall Victor/Ventora/Vx half under a tarp that had been rotting away since my childhood days in the 80s. Disappeared suddenly last year, was quite sad to see a childhood memory gone.
