Re: Project THJ (Magenta Sprint)
Another amazing resto completed now. Congrats mate.
What's next?
C'mon, leave the Sprints alone. Ok, so maybe not a FWD but have a go at another model?

Re: Project THJ (Magenta Sprint)
SENSATIONAL! I suggest a white Sprint next as there seem to be loads for sale recently that need a resto...

OMG....Fantastic job mate. Have to say that it's my colour. Brings back memories of Ed Bishops 'Purple Power' Sprint.
will have to make time to get to see in the flesh.

Stunning, unbelievable job Mart.
Of course, the windscreen is the best bit

Have just seen THJ in the metal. Wow, wow, wow. What a beautiful job.
Mary said the bodywork still needs a few bits doing. Similarly, Tess Daley could do with getting her nails done

I think you can officially post an avatar of THJ in the blank box with the question mark now (It's beginning to look like a Sprint hall of fame) =D>

I disagree.
It's those windscreen wipers!!!

But yes, words fail me. other than to say thanks Martin for preserving yet another car for future generations to appreciate and enjoy.

Re: Project THJ (Magenta Sprint)
Tess has great nails, but the Magenta car is closer to perfect than her, I suspect.

Re: Project THJ (Magenta Sprint)
Absolutely stunning.
Do a mallard one next.
Should a N plate Sprint have the chrome/stainless cill top trims? If you want some I have some spares...and bresco do the clips, which match Rover P6 ones.
I havent refitted mine cos they are rust points.

Re: Project THJ (Magenta Sprint)
Thanks Jon. Yes it should have the sill/cill top trims. I have the clips but not the trims. I'm not sure if I want to put them on anyway, it looks ok without them. If I do change my mind it won't take long to fit them. 

Sprintless for the first time in 35+ years.
... Still Sprintless.

Re: Project THJ (Magenta Sprint)
Another stunner indeed! I wasn't sure about the colour, but it looks fantastic now.
I think the airbox is the best bit.
Ice blue next? (No need to specify model)
