Hi to all of the members/readers.
I am new to this club and forum and this is my first post.
I am the owner of a dolomite sprint that is currently being built into a Group 1 "Works" car recreation. It will look very similar to the Andy Rouse, Steve Thompson 1976 Works (Broadspeed) Leyland cars.
I'm not too sure how many people are interested in this build but happy to share the story so far. Quite a bit of the information and photographs are on our website
www.classicworkz.co.uk.
I bought the original car from a trader in Essex earlier this year, who said he had taken it in part exchange. There was little bit of history and established that the car was a 1975 British Racing Green (colour 75), it left the country for 3 years and then registered back in the UK in 1978. It was originally a beige interior but a previous owner installed a black one. The Reg is HHV 733N, believed to have been owned by someone around the Reading area. I would love to hear more about it's past if anyone knows the car.
After being fully stripped and the body sorted out, including a sunroof delete, the car is now white and being liveried in red and blue in next couple of weeks. It also has a new vinyl roof.
The engine has been fully rebuilt with twin 48 Webers, as has the gearbox, overdrive, rear axle, brakes, suspension, braided lines for brakes and fuel; fully rewired with thin wall and black braid, Cartek switch panel. New door cards and wood capping. Safety Devices roll cage, new Corbeau Revenge carbon fibre seat, foam filled bespoke fuel tank, extinguisher and electrical shut off.
It should be raced in the Classic Touring Car Racing Club next season (2022), shakedowns and successful testing permitting.
If there is any interest I will post some more information and some photos of the build so far.
