Restored: GTR229D - Triumph Vitesse Mk.I
The Vitesse was a quick version of the popular Triumph Herald and was also fitted with other refinements. First registered in 05/1966, this one is powered by a 1596cc engine. is seen here on display in the car park of the art-deco Midland Hotel, Morecambe, during Vintage by the Sea, on 01/09/2024.
This was my first time at this great event which has been running for 11 years, however this year's event(2025) will not be run due to pressure to raise the funds needed to match rising costs. The free and not-for-profit annual event, which was co-created by fashion designer Wayne Hemingway, who hails from Morecambe, in conjunction with Deco Publique has reportedly attracted more than 40,000 visitors to the Lancashire seaside resort each year, however the organisers hope this is not the end of the festival forever and that the right levels of resources and funding can be secured in the future. © Peter Steel 2024.
