First (Fast) Drive of 2024 in my MK 2 Vitesse

Join me as I take "Bess" my 1971 Triumph Vitesse out for winter drive along the lanes of East Suffolk...after some battery charging and a bit of richening up the mixture on the SU carburettors.

Hello Sean, I enjoyed that drive-along through the Suffolk countryside, great to see Bess behaving so well, thank you

Thanks for a enjoyable video as you take Bess for a new year's blast around the country roads of Suffolk. Also being winter less leaves on the trees
you can see more of the countryside along side the road.

Bess certainly sounded on-song. Lovely to see you out motoring again. Also, relieved not too see you encounter any deep water.

We had a triumph herald in 1966 not the vitesse
But we had some good times
FNA60D I think the registration was
Loved the video

Thank you, Sean, excellent video, as always - thanks!
I notice that Bess appears to have quite a generously-sized brake booster. This interests me, as my 1970 Vitesse convertible was not so equipped. The brakes were pretty good but needed a really hard shove to bring out their best. I must say that I have never, before or since, come across non-assisted disc brakes! Would the servo have been a refinement introduced in the 1971 model year? All the best, Colin.

Hi Sean, always a pleasure viewing your drive outs, I've been using the Stag quite a bit recently. How about you set up a meet up of your followers in there classic for a coffee and chat and maybe a drive out on one of your routes !!!. When the weather is a bit better. What do you think? Cheers Bob
