You kept that one quiet. I never knew you had an 1850HL auto. These are a rarity (as is any Dolomite with an auto).

I can understand why you're considering selling it but I think you will regret it from the moment the new owner drives it away. You need to give this decision a lot of thought. I've not used mine much but I wouldn't consider parting with it. I want to enjoy the fruits of my labour and expenditure on my Dolomite.

Get out and enjoy it.

I think you should keep it Rob. Its one of the nicest dolomites I have ever seen.

I also think you should have a look at getting the heritage certificate cos even though its on an S plate we always thought it was a much
earlier car that had sat about, and it was a darker green than brooklands, though it looks like you had it painted since I last saw it.

If you want rid of the webasto I could be interested. How bad is it?
