Curious about Vitesses

[Output Flange]

I keep finding myself drawn to adverts for Vitesse convertibles, but I know nothing about them.

I like the idea of a small, simple convertible to bimble around in and take on the occasional jaunt further afield.

Coming from a position of knowing nothing about the Vitesse in particular or Triumphs in general, what is the ownership experience like? For context, I have an '86 M5 that gets used as a weekend car which always just works. I have no issue with sensible maintenance, but I get bored pretty quickly with cars that are inherently unreliable.

So, what do I need to know, and what should I be looking out for? I'm also open to the idea of resto-mod cars. Is there any precedent for this with the Vitesse?

Thanks chaps
