It's a beast! And a well travelled one too, might be a bit disorientated in it's new surroundings but let me know if you want me to post it to you as there are plenty of its relations around the place already.

Anyone know more about the odd travels of this Dolomite, TDC members like covcourier / David6214 seem to have been involved with it at some point? It seems to have travelled in its current state for quite some time. Commision number is WF 18969 DLA, paint code 65 which is right for Emerald Green, trim is C11 (black), was hoping it might have been originally the funky grey interior, well kind of, would have been even more difficult to get replacements. Found this old thread from years ago, pictures have been photobucketed but I managed to get hold of them and put them below for posterity. Upshot is that in the past 8 years very little has happened to the poor thing, other than the ventilation apertures have become a little wider and new ones have sprung up in the bonnet as that looked kind of fine. Seems it failed an MOT on a rusty chassis leg but I've not yet managed to jack it up and get under and have a proper look at it. viewtopic.php?f=9&t=13339 November 2013 Tom rescued it from a scrapyard in Bristol viewtopic.php?f=8&t=26192&p=250681&hili ... rd#p250681

It lived with me for a while although only as a guest. I collected for David from ????? and delivered it to Bristol when he sold it. As soon as we pushed it into the garage of the old gent in Bristol, I kind of knew that it would never get restored by him however good his intentions were. |

Thanks for that, and even though he never managed to do any restoring (well anything at all it seems!) at least it does not seem to have deteriorated much in the intervening years so it's been stored well enough.

It was stored at my place I think that it was mine but I done a swap or deal with David and he ended up owning it but still stored at mine until you collected it.
