Had an update from the IOM and some pictures.
New owner (Tony) very happy and made the homeward journey without incident. The car didn't miss a beat. If fact reckons the 300 mile trip has improved the running.
What a true gent. Because the road tax system on the island is differrent to ours, (£5 a year !!) Tony even sent back the tax disc so I could get a refund. Fantastic. 10 months tax the government won't be keeping.
The car has received some excellent comments from from locals and his local garage. The Sprint had to undergo another MOT check ( a kind of import MOT I think) and it passed with flying colours. Garage owner even went as far as saying it's the best Sprint he has seen in years. Now I guess he could have just had a cataract operation
or there may be no other Sprints on the island, but nice know my efforts weren't in vain.
Pics are scanned polaroids but clear enough.
Oh well, onto the next one..............
