If its the yellow one I think you could do a lot better for that sort of money.
There is something wrong with the boot floor under the petrol tank looks like some kind of home fabricated repair.

I know values are going up but for 11k you should expect everything to be correct.

Looks like its had one of those Rimmers repair panels.
I ordered one and was so disappointed when it came, I sent it back, then fabricated my own repair sections.

Which is my problem with the brothers, great site, comprehensive parts availability, but for the price I would expect top quality and it is all over the place.

I ordered a secondhand rocker arm for a Sprint, it was so corroded it was useless. I know it was used, but I expect salvaged parts to be usable.

I saw this car up for sale at beaulieu autojumble May 2016, it was up for £11995 i got the impression talking to the guy that he was from Southern Triumph Services he certainly knew very little about Sprints, when i looked at it close up, it appeared it bit of a rush job (maybe cashing in on high sprint prices) i would be cautious.

Not to mention some decent alloys with centre caps, and a rubber seal around the bulkhead air-intake.
