I bought this in Oct 2017 in London, it spent all its life in Enfield - I'll add more pictures later from the day I bought it and what it looks like now.

That is really nice Murdo, and a real mans car being auto Not many auto's of any Dolly left now. Is it unrestored Murdo? Tony. |

Totally unrestored Tony, it's only ever had routine maintenance - there's 4 large folders of history with every MOT and receipt from new. Tony. The first owner had it 5 years, and the next up till 2017 when I bought it. It had been in storage for 13 years before I bought it as the old gentleman had died, Moordale Motors put an MOT on it before I bought it. I'm having the external resprayed just now, as you can imagine the paint is in need of it. I'll put photos of the progress up later, I should have it back for Xmas. |

Looks like a nice car, even on the hard shoulder, white does suit them well! Read about the viscous fan going and often taking out the radiator with it on the forum, so my first job I ever did was replace it with an electric one. My Sprint has been to Orkney and Shetland isles, I have a vague plan for a drive up through Barra to Lewis and Harris some time in the future in my bucket list. |

I've moved the thread here because it IS Dolomite-related. |

I'd much prefer it had been let in "General Chat", 99% of material on this forum is Dolomite related, the hint is in the forum name, any chance you can put it back. Thanks.

Here are the photos I took of the Sprint before putting it into my garage to strip ready for a fresh coat of paint - we fixed the viscous coupling straight away, thanks to Matt for diagnosing it over the telephone. I'll give the history of the car in the next post.

The paint looks great in the photos but it wouldn't polish up well, and needed a respray Dave.

My Dolly had to have the same treatment Murdo. Must be something in white paint No rust, just dull. Tony. |

Yeah that's exactly how it was Tony, almost chalk like, just no sheen.
