I wonder why they never imported the six-cylinder Vitesse to the U.S. I've
always liked the styling. Since they were raced in Trans-Am in the 60s, it
would be neat to race one in vintage racing. I wonder how they would do
against Alfas and Cortinas.
By the way, Vitesse convertibles do come up for sale here in Los Angeles
occasionally, and they're always pretty cheap. If you're interested in one,
let me know and I'll keep an eye out.

Karim,
just as a matter of interest, a fellow called Jarman here in Vancouver B.C.
imported a sizable number of Bond Equipes (Vitesse chassis/engine), some of
which were convertibles, to Canada, in the late sixties I imagine. His wife
had one for sale two years ago in Vancouver which I was considering
purchasing but didn't. I don't know if he did sell it.
Cheers.
