The Appeal
A textbook day-to-day classic. The 1500HL ticks all of the boxes of simple engineering, attractive retro styling and a handsomely trimmed cabin that set it apart from its often spartan brethren - no doubt why HL was the abbreviation of 'Highline'. It was an executive level car for your local bank manager or successful greengrocer. You get the idea. Not ridiculously flash but a perfectly sound, comfortable car, and one that continues to offer just about everything for the enthusiast wanting something relatively free of fuss.
This '77 Highline boasts an attractive Honeysuckle yellow finish and impressively low mileage of just 66,000 miles. Having benefited from Zeibart rust protection from new, this Dolomite has avoided the usual corrosion foibles of a British classic from the '70s. It's definitely a headturner, and with recent mechanical attention including new track rod ends, steering rack, and four new tyres, it's now ready for its next custodian to enjoy.
