VA969 Mike's Early Sprint Restoration.

Mike, why change the pump that's on there? It's one of the three types available at the time.

Now go out and enjoy the car, you've earned that right.

[DoloWIGHTY]

Great news, thanks for the update.

I was going to ask how you were getting on with the rubber door seals to see if they had now compressed some more, but I see you say you have re-hung the doors so I gues they are okay now?

[JPB]

Fabulous stuff, I suspect that your snagging list will be far shorter than those typically generated at PDI back in the day, by the dealerships.

Did Sprints come with that anti-wear strip on the tunnel carpet this early? It wouldn't have been present on an 1850 of the same year, so I don't think that you need to be too concerned about that, even considering how period-accurate your rebuild has been.

I find your lack of under bonnet stickers disturbing



she looks a gem Mike.

I've just wrestled getting a new radio in, yours looks the piece.

please keep the pics and stories coming.

Continuous enough for you Mike? No trouble for a man of your talents though.

Sorry to hear this Mike. Hope the cause is relatively simple to sort out but in the meantime...bugger.

[Oli_88]

Bugger.

[Lord Tolly]

OH BUGGER

[Howard81]

Bugger

Proves it's a Triumph though

[hutch76]

Mike, you have the patience of a saint.

[mbellinger]

Bloody hell Mike.

Do please go out and kick some litter!

[SprintMWU773V]

Amazes me how quickly the carbon builds up. Damn shame to have to take it all apart, the cause of this is a mystery but looks like a rogue failure of some description

[DoloWIGHTY]

Bad luck. This is the sort of thing which gave the cars a reputation of being unreliable when new I guess?
