Just a little update. I looked at the WorthPoint advert and contacted that owner (all a bit surreal I know). After a fairly lengthy discussion he sold it to he thinks to a person in the west country somewhere but can't quite remember where. He drove it down and said the bottom end was a bit rumbly, due to what he thinks was the oil pump giving up... and it had a few rust bubbles; this was in 2015. It was last MOT'd in 2016 and SORN in Jan 2020. So I'm hoping it's still languishing in someones barn or garage somewhere.
I've also put a request out on my Twitter feed, so hoping someone will see it and respond.
Why is it special to me? Firstly, I only sold it because I lost my job in 1990 and couldn't afford to run the vehicle. Before that I owned a Dolly 1850 (1973), another Sprint in dark blue and after reluctantly selling the yellow Dolly I had a Stag.
Secondly, it was the last car I had before my father was diagnosed with Dementia. In the later stages of Dementia, every time I took him to a doctors appointment or tests at hospital, even the though the car had long gone, kept saying
"are we going in the yellow Triumph?"
If anyone has any idea what I can do next or where to find it, I'll be grateful.
Thank you once again.
