V5

Should a Sprint say that it's a Sprint on the V5 or just Dolomite?

VA chassis number and engine capacity are shown correctly.

Yep, just checked two and they both say sprint on the V5...apparently there isn't a V5 category for in bits!!

This sort of stuff can get mixed up, as there was a lot of manual entry back then. Someone might have written it down wrong on a from 25 years ago and nobody has bothered to correct the error.
