I would recommend Buckeye Triumphs as well. Download the A type manual from my website: http://www.vitessesteve.co.uk/PDF/A-type_overdrive_manual.pdf

The pictures clearly show a car that does fit that description - did you buy from a trader? Have you thought of using the sale of goods act to seek compensation if you paid a price based on the solid body description.

The colour of the wires may give you a clue if they follow the Lucas system - here is an article on a MG site that sets out the recommended wiring colours: http://www.mgexperience.net/article/lucas-colours.html

You need to buy the wire that is thick enough for the current that will passing through it. What are the wires you want to replace connected to? Normally wiring is sold by the size of the conducting part rather than the overall size that includes the insulation.

Depends how far you want to go. The Vitesse had 2 fuses on the bulkhead and 1 inline fuse behind the dash. Take a look at the electrical pages (group6) in http://www.vitessesteve.co.uk/PDF/Herald,Spitfire,Vitesse.pdf But if you are starting fresh I would add something more modern.

Looks to be longer threaded part than I would have expected to see.

If the water pump is that rusty what is the rest of the engine like? Why so rusty - has the engine been neglected too?

Here is wiring diagram, does that help?

2500 Fast Road Engine - Where to Start?

Vented Capri disc will fit into 13 wheels. (minilite replica) Getting the steering arms to fit without them touching the disc was the challenge. Look how close the joint is. -
You can go for lower profile but the ride will be worse. Also more radical changing to tyres will make the speedo inaccurate. http://www.mintylamb.co.uk/?page=tyre.htm

What happened? I can see a push rod not pushing its rocker. If oil gallery was blocked in head - the oil holes in the valve gear are also likely to blocked or partly blocked. Oil should be passing through the rocker shaft to each rocker. How much movement is there on the rockers - they should turn on the shaft but not twist. If the shaft has been running dry there will wear where the rocker have rubbed on the metal of the shaft rather than on a film of oil..
