Twin Plenum vitesse identifiable by the giant air dam. |

Not necessarily.... The cow catcher front air dam (which is a damn nuisance over speed bumps!) was a 1985 model year item - the twin-throttle plenum only appeared from late 1985 onwards. I've also yet to see a export car with twin-throttles (possibly UK-only). |

PK-01-NL: 1986 Rover 3500 Vitesse So it's definately a Vitesse. I'm pretty amazed that it's still on the road. It has an MOT that's valid until 14-06-2008 and the current owner of the car owns it since 1989! It has a pretty cool license plate as well. .gif ";)") |

Sorry, I wasn't clear. It's not a Twin Plenum variant of the Vitesse - I'm now certain Twin Plenum Vitesses were right-hand-drive only cars, produced at the very end of SD1 production for racing homologation. So this car would be what's termed a single plenum Vitesse. |

^BL had factories in Germany? Are you sure? |

Definetely not. Maybe he thinks "made for" my country - but this car has Dutch plates. Otherwise: it's possible, that it was sold in Germany before. Cars, over 25 years old, are very popular in NL, because they are tax-free. So a plenty of them were imported now, often from Germany. The percentage of bigger cars, sold as new, is much lower in the Netherlands, compared to Germany. |
