Return to Dolomite ownership

#1 Post by storeyn »

I have this evening returned to Dolomite Ownership....

Earlier today I took delivery of Mad Marts track day sprint, after many years of ownership he decided to sell.

I am looking forward to continuing Martins tradition of frequent track days...

Have to say it is a brilliiant car, a credit to martin as are his other restorations detailed on the forum.

Looking forward to my first drive...,

:D :D :D

I'm glad it's gone to a good home and not too far from me. I had the track Sprint for over 14 years and for the first time in 25-30 years I am temporarily without one. I have no plans to get another resto or track Sprint (or anything else for that matter), but you know me, that could change at any time. :lol:
Sprintless for the first time in 35+ years. :boggle2: ... Still Sprintless.

Engines, Gearboxes, Overdrives etc. rebuilt. PM me.

I heard a whisper that SFB's logbook and chassis plate were for sale on ebay recently; I never saw the advert myself, but have you heard if anything happened to it?

Congratulations Storeyn. I hope you enjoy it.
Mart, I hope you get another Dolly. I love reading about your rebuilds.
It's funny how these cars get under your skin. I have just bought a 1300fwd. Sadly I now have to sell the Toledo, though.

Would somehow doubt that re SFB.

Rush sold it in good condition to a guy from Brum some 2 years ago now? It went for decent money if a tad cheap and was still in excellent
condition.

I think it may have since changed hands again once since.

A dolomite-less Mart is very hard to imagine. But nothing in life is permanent...
