Monte Carlo Historic Rally

#1 Post by TheBeatsonBoys »

Thought you might be interested to know that I have entered my Sprint in the (January)2015 Monte Historic.

I purchased a standard '76 Sprint in June and sent it to the fantastic team at Brayon Classic Engineering to rebuild it into a rally.

I've attached a pick of the car as purchased
