Hi all :
As some of you know, I recently acquired a Sports 6 with the intention
of doing a "rolling restoration" on it (as soon as I get it rolling
<g>). I of course looked at the Sports 6 and early Vitesse at the
Breckenridge show with great interest. (Unfortunately, I forgot to take
my camera, so I have only memories of these very nice looking cars.)
However, I noticed that both of these cars have an apparently original
tachometer mounted in the dash, while my car has only a central
speedometer (with integral fuel gauge) and a temp gauge. Does that mean
that both cars at the show had the later Vitesse Mk II dash ? Or am I
missing something ?
My SPC lists two different fascia and panel assemblies for the Sports 6,
the early dash panel P/N is 566694, while the later is 568639. However,
there is no change point listed. Does anyone know what the difference
is, and when the change occurred ?
Also, I noticed that the bonnet buffers were different. My car looks
like the illustrations in the SPC, with a conical rubber piece mounted
to each side of the bonnet, similar to the TR4A but pointed the opposite
direction. The cars at the show had a 'V' shaped piece on the bonnet,
and a matching rubber-covered bracket on the bulkhead. Any ideas whence
the difference ?
BTW, I didn't check the commission number on the Sports 6, but the
Vitesse was quite a bit earlier than my car. Does anyone know the
commission number for the last Sports 6 ?
TIA
