I really love that colour. Is it unusual? I don't remember seeing another Dolomite in that shade.

I think that's what mine is (or very close to). Or it would be if it were shiny :lol:

It is quite a rare colour. I think there are a couple of other Dollies in this colour in the club. There was defo one at Cosford last year.

Edit: The thread in the members section has reminded me that Ted Middleton has a Sapphire Sprint too.

Just ran out of time to finish installing the axle this evening so hopefully finish it off in the morning & then maybe start on the vinyl roof.
