Answer 3

In terms of needing help for such as a car breakdown, the last time was way back in the 1970s.  The car I was using that day was my Triumph Vitesse - she broke down outside Brighton one winter's morning and would not get going.

The AA-man arrived after about three hours.  Lots of breakdowns he told me due to the severe cold weather.

Triumph Vitesse [classic car]

The Triumph Vitesse had a straight six two litre engine with twin carbs and it could easily do 0 to 6 in about 4 seconds.  It really was one h**l of a fast get away car.  It's top speed was about 98mph.  Originally built by Triumph back in the 1960s.

There was a version of the Triumph Vitesse with a 2.5litre engine as well - wow fast. . . .as you can see in the vide-clip above, it was a very small car.  The twin headlamps were an interesting feature - I mean they were like search-lights.  The car was really at it's best darting about on England's B-Roads far from the madding crowds.
