Hello folks...
It's Monday day-dream time...!!!
I was just sitting at my desk when I wondered "what famous people owned a Dolomite Sprint" when they were new?! They must have been quite appealing to the people of fame and fortune as they were advanced, went well and were pretty darn luxurious!
If anyone out there can name some famous Dolomite Sprint owners that'd be very interesting indeed...
All the best...

Superb...!!!!!!
I wonder if any BTCC drivers (Rouse for example?!) back in the day had Dolomite Sprints as 'everyday' cars whilst they were racing the competition models...?!

There is a guy on this forum that owns Broadspeed Sprint maybe that had a famous owner.
Some people are like Slinky's, they serve no real purpose in life but bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs .

I'm sort of famous, well, well known anyway, and I have a Sprint. Needs a bit of TLC...

Is that the one with the hole in the roof and a rather wet interior and missing rear bumper?
Note from Admin: sadly Jon passed away in February 2018 but his humour and wealth of knowledge will be fondly remembered by all. RIP Jonners.

If you think you are Richard Hammond then you are not as the real one has put it on record he doesn't own the one vandalised on TG.
