The Triumph Dolomite Club - Discussion Forum

HI GUYS,
just bought a jet black dolomite sprint,ive never seen one before,its definately genuine black,are they common,its also got four rubber bungs on the boot lid,somebody suggested that it might have been for a police stop sign,any comments would be appreciated thanks jiffy

What paint code does it say on the vin plate. Its normally a number like 63 but can sometimes be a few letters?

Be great to see photos of the car,

Black my favorite colour,

Hole's Bung's on boot lid could also be for a luggage rack?.

hey guys picking her up on saturday,will post pics soon as i can,cant wait,got her started today with some potrol sprayed into the carbs sounds awsome sweet and no nasty knocks or rattles,here goes bye byr savings...lol jiffy

hey guys finally got the sprint this morning,in much better condition than i could have wished for,needs a cill on the drivers sice and a small hole in the drivers floor,also the petrol tank cover panel needs replacing or patching,looked at the vin plate it says as follows,comp:va6259
paint code:B6AC?N it has a compensating valve at the rear ,got to replace the fuel pipe at the rear joining the pipes together at the fuel tank,then i can get it running, tax disk says mar 00 so guessing that was the last time she was on the road,
REG IS JVA37N all the electrics are fine and all switches and dials seem to work ok,
its got an 8 track 70s stylee palyer installed too..lol
the rubber bungs on the boot are really close together bout 2 inches apart so dont think it was for a luggage rack...cant wait to get her running and see how she goes
more updates later as i get her going jiffy

VA is sprint
i think paint code should be two numbers
car registered as black.
