XGK 976W
This is the brown Sprint I have just bought , Reg number XGK 976W , Chassis number TWTLD5AT111505 which I have just found out was manufactured on the 9th July 1980 . I'm going to get it MOT'd in the next couple of weeks and then start a partial restoration over the winter , I'll keep you posted.

Looks like a nice car, still with its original vinyl roof I think.

Re: XGK 976W
Nice one Chris, looks pretty tidy and not too much work to do?
I have a Russet car too. Proper old school colour.
Keep us posted on how you get on.

MOT at 16.00 today , All brakes working , welding sorted and everything working as it should . She's a bit lumpy at tickover but runs fine when driving . Insured today for £79 fully comp so it's all coming together !

Re: XGK 976W
Good luck.
It looks like the rear exhaust mount is missing, usually a bobbin mount either on a bracket or drilled into the boot floor, unless you have it fixed on the original mounting inside the wheel arch?

Re: XGK 976W
The exhaust is held on with the bracket under the wheel arch and seems ok . The car passed the MOT with no problems so we're nearly there . Just waiting to get the tax sorted . Car goes really well but is a bit rough at low revs/speed . Bit of carb work to do I think .

Cool well done on the MOT pass, that must be a custom exhaust.
