The Vitesse WAS imported to the USA in limited numbers during
the 1960's until Federal Smog/Safety regulations went into
effect in 1968. The small sedan in the 1960's did not find
a willing market at the price it was selling for.
I don't know how many came to the USA in total, but it
is probably less than 5000 for all years. It was available
in a convertible, coupe and sedan form, I believe.
