Oldest Dolomite....

#1 Post by matt of the vivas »

Do we know who owns the oldest Dolomite now? I know one very early one was lost a year or so back, so whats left?
Mine is WF5698DLA, May 72, which is fairly early, but would be interested to know how many others are about that are older...
Matt.

Our ERO is about 5000, so a few ahead of you.

I did see a very early emerald one at one of the ace meets about 4 years ago now. Came from the Southampton area. Guy wasnt that in to
computers - I think it was sub 200.

There was a Slate Grey Auto sold on ebay a year or two ago that I nearly bought, that was sub 1000 comm, 839 IIRC. That was running and driving so should still be around.
