That’s the kiddie.
Didn’t know they actually made one for a Sprint.

Do they list dimensions at all.

1980 Dolomite Sprint with a touch of BLTS
Balanced Lightened and Tweaked 13B Rotary and SsuperCharged.
Back in my possession 22 September 2019.

Date on the Group 2 approval is 1 April (fish day) 1974. If it was got under the 100 off rule they'd have had to make 100 and list them for sale, possibly in an ST catalog. But I wouldn't know if that's the right axle or another.

The 16v Slant 4 engine is more fun than the 3.5 V8, because you mostly drive it on the upslope of the torque curve.

Factory 1977 TR7 Sprint FHC VVC 697S (Now all of, but still needs putting together)
B&Y 73 Dolomite Sprint UVB 274M (kids!)
1970 Maroon 13/60 Herald Convertable (wife's fun car).
