Sandie ◊ 2011-04-22 19:15	Nice, rare and underrated car.
Neon ◊ 2011-04-22 19:19	Totally agree! Sport is really part of the name? HPI says only Vitesse
Sandie ◊ 2011-04-22 19:24	Yes - AFAIK those wheels only came on the Vitesse Sport. Sport also means it is a 200hp rather than 180hp.

Sandie ◊ 2013-07-25 01:58	Shame it wasn't used more 2.02: 2.04: 3.04: Early on in this episode you see the Rover key fob in Barnaby's hands several times. The reason for the unexplained appearance is that the episodes were aired in a different order to which they filmed so the Vitesse was used in this episode when Barnaby had already been seen using a 75 in 2.03, 3.01, 3.02 and 3.03. The episodes are on the DVD in filming order, so 3.04 is included in the Series 1+2 Boxset.
