Re: Dolomite Sprint for sale

I stand corrected. I'm with you though as to why you would put those plates on a vehicle that never had them from new. :shrug:

Re: door side pinstriping

Only Black or Silver Sprint stripes from the club in stock. Any other colour is a special order. We also have 1500 SE stripes in silver, of course, but we also have a couple of Gold SE stripes.

Re: Strange cable out nowhere

It looks like the lead to the tandem brake master cylinder warning light. Should be in the engine bay on the bulkhead where the brake pipes converge in the union.

Re: South West Dolly Day - proposal

Mary & I will probably come down (not in a Dolly). We organised a TDC event there many years ago between the Bristol, and what was Avon, and the guys from the Devon area. I believe we had use of the small track there too.
