John, I'm afraid I have very little information for you. However, I am
copying an e-mail list called the "Friends of Triumph," comprised of many
Triumph owners who race, rallye and/or autocross their Triumphs or have a
close connection with any such activities. Included on this list are a few
folk that indeed have been closely involved in some way with racing Vitesses,
and hopefully one or several of them can provide more information. I'm also
copying John Kipping, who has more than a little experience with Vitesses and
other Herald-based cars, including a grueling "classic" rallye several years
ago in a Vitesse saloon.
