Sprint maybe for sale soon.

#1 Post by rvfrc45 »

Hi,
I've just been reminded that I don't use this site enough so here goes.
Well I tend to look at article's but not necessary pass comments.
Anyway some old friends of mine have owned a 1978 (S plate) sprint from new.
I used to look after the car when they lived near me, in fact it came from the garage
I worked at. It's Inca Yellow and is in very good condition and has very low mileage.
Shortly Ann will say its got to go as she's finding it a bit hard to drive now and lack of classic specialists
near them in Norfolk.
Price, well its been valued by the club and I need to find out what she wants for the car.
So if anybody is interested please reply and I will pass on your details.
I think she thought I would like the car on day, Yes I would but have enough with my own sprint and
motorbikes so don't have the time.
Cheers Gary

Hi Matt of the Vivas,
Spoke to Ann and she said it would be great if you could give me your
Private details if she considers keeping the Sprint.
Cheers Gary.

Have you seen the posts on Facebook over the last few weeks looking for Sprints, I think there was at least 2 posts - I can't find them now but I'm sure they'll still be there somewhere.

Are there photos of the car?

Automatic, porcelain white - 52,820, genuine mileage (warranted).

Built 26/6/1980, 3 previous owners (2 within the same family).

Supplied by Lavender Hill Garage Ltd, Enfield, London, by garage owner Jimmy Metcalfe on 30th September 1980 to Geoffrey Robinson, Enfield, London.
