Re: 1974 Dolomite Sprint
I think you got yours for a great price, all things considered.
They're old cars now, most of them will need attention and tidy bodywork might well hide a whole host of bodges & problems.

Re: 1974 Dolomite Sprint
That's not helped by them being so cheap for so long. Even now they're still at the bottom of the barrel for 70s stuff, let alone performance 70s.
Re: 1974 Dolomite Sprint
Fuck sake, I could have had that auto Sprint. Why the fuck wasn't it showing up in my searches?
Even in Manchester.
I'm perfectly happy with what I'm looking at though, if not happier.

The Aqua Sprint was colour changed. BL axed Aqua in 1973 and it was Austin Morris only, never Triumph.

Fuck knows how long that must have taken 'em. My grandad waited 3 months for a Zircon Blue TC after they kept trying to fob him off with nappy stain colours....

There is the Applejack Green VP 1500. It left the factory in that colour. So someone ordered it, and they painted it.
