Re: Why has this not sold?

So the bonhams link shows the car sold for less than 5k in March 2024. Bought by someone who thought they’d try to double their money, and subsequently put it up for 10k? Looks like whoever has it will be lucky to get their money back now. Even though the more I read about it the worse it sounds - I...

Re: Why has this not sold?

I actually quite like it - I’ve a bit of a soft spot for an ugly duckling or something a bit different - and thought it may have been a good base car for someone. Of course it would need to have some of the previous owners less than tasteful, or practical, mods removed but I would have given it a vi...

Re: Why has this not sold?

Ok rally ‘homage’ or whatever you want to call it. It still looks like a fun classic for not much money, and has been advertised for a while.

Maybe a bit of exposure on here may help with a sale?

Why has this not sold?

https://www.carandclassic.com/l/C1759465 Ok I haven’t seen it in the flesh, or driven it. But assuming it is what the vendor says it is, surely that’s an excellent value, usable classic for 5k? A rally replica is not everyone’s cup of tea of course but what other decent classic can you buy for that ...

Re: Ziebart Treatment, a poll.

Both the Dolomites that I have had have been treated with Ziebart. Neither car was absolutely mint 45+ years on obviously because they have been used. But they are both still wearing their original cills etc, so I’m convinced that the treatment was worthwhile. I think that the sort of people that we...

LLU the Mimosa Sprint

Hello good people. :D I sold VYK my russet Sprint a couple of years back. I had put a lot of work into making the car the best driving car that I could but when I got as far as I thought I could go with it I soon got bored and sold it on. https://i.ibb.co/6mxCvvH/C98-B8158-77-D3-4595-9581-3-F3522-D0...

Re: Dolomite Sprint Found!

When that car was new, I was working for Stewart and Ardern! Alas, the North Harrow branch, rather than Hayes. But I have a vague memory of the salesman, Don Hibbert. Interestingly, I have the Ziebart invoice for the Carledo and in January of 73, it was only £33! Or maybe the considerable differenc...

Re: Dolomite Sprint FOUND

Found one! Well that happened a bit quicker than I thought it would! I now have a 1975 Mimosa Sprint, with a Webasto. The car seems to be very original and solid in all the right places. Zeibarted from new which seems to have done exactly what it was claimed it would do. The zeibart certificate is i...
