Local lad knocked on my door yesterday having seen Quicksprint sitting on the trailer outside using my road as a shortcut for the first time in 20 years to tell me he was buying it and looking forward to joining the Club and restoring it after a 4 day epic with his mates to collect it.
Hurrah, another local member!

Re: Who is selling a red Sprint in Ayrshire?
That sound's about right
That is...........
Nairnshire not Ayrshire?
The registration is RVD509M.
Last used in 1994. Price is £1000.
I am told it is in Ardersier and has been advertised for months and months in the local free ads paper (Scot-Ads).
It is also advertised in Triumph World.
There was a DSR member (now sadly deceased) in Burghead who restored a red Sprint in the 90s but that is not the same car. (He also restored another Sprint before that, which I think he sold to a man in MacDuff. I don't remember the colour of that one.)
Nairnshire is about 130 miles from me.
If you are interested in buying and willing to trust my opinion I could take a look at it for you, Alun, assuming the seller is agreeable of course.

Re: Who is selling a red Sprint in Ayrshire?
From what I gather Ian, the deal has been done, it just needs collecting. Shame, I could have sold him a project and saved him a trip!!
I will PM you his number as I don't know him from Adam apart from him knocking on the door. I don't know if he has inspected the car or not, if not, he may welcome the SP from an expert...

Re: Who is selling a red Sprint in Ayrshire?
I never heard from the bloke who knocked on my door again, and I've not seen such a car around anywhere.
