The fully-loaded ‘twin-plenum’ (TP) manual Vitesse modelled here was registered on the 1st January 1987 and is, by VIN number, the twentieth from the last SD1 built. Current owner Ramon Alban, an electronics engineer from Bedfordshire, was persuaded to look for a ‘TP’ by his son Carl and after a year searching nationally bought this car in June 1993 from owner Tony Elliott, ironically the proprietor of a small garage nearby. After a year assessing and planning, Ramon stripped the then 63,000 mile example for a full restoration, most of which he did himself although family friend Philip J Smith, who runs a bodyshop, resprayed the car. The resulting immaculate Vitesse has now covered 110,000 enjoyable miles.
