Descrição
Triumph dolomite sprint 1978 - vermillion, I've owned this sprint 5 years during which I've spent several thousand £ mechanically & on bodywork. It's a well sorted & maintained car which had some restoration work soon after I bought it including a respray to a high standard - there is however some slight blistering on the lower edge of the rear doors - see photos - and one very small blemish on the edge of the front panel above the passenger headlamp, this aside the condition is exceptional.
The paintwork shines up really well and is much better in reality than the photos suggest!
The sprint alloys are the originals as is the vinyl roof which is in amazing condition.
All the upholstery - the seats, door cards etc is excellent, however the door cappings could do with re-laquering if you want them perfect.
Mechanically the car is good & drives as a sprint should - very responsive with smooth working overdrive. It also has the advantage of electronic ignition.
One of the amazing things about my Dolomite sprint is that it has never been welded - there can't be many Dolomites now that haven't had any welding at all.
An interesting point is that this particular Sprint was magazine featured several years ago - once in a Escort Mexico v Dolomite sprint comparison & also in a Dolomite sprint buying feature.
To summerise, this is a very good condition and exceptionally solid unwelded Dolomite sprint in one of the nicer colours - a reluctant sale of a much cherished classic.
