Should a Sprint say that it's a Sprint on the V5 or just Dolomite?

VA chassis number and engine capacity are shown correctly.

This is time taken at the Sprint not necessary time worked.

Working on a ratio of just 7Hrs a day not including driving to the Sprint.
That equals to 68 days that doesn’t include weekends.

This sort of stuff can get mixed up, as there was a lot of manual entry back then. Someone might have written it down wrong on a from 25 years ago and nobody has bothered to correct the error.
