L reg Sprint....that must be one of the very earliest ones.

I can remember as a teenager, when one one of my older cousins came round on the 1st Aug 1976 in his brand new R-reg Tahiti Blue Dolly Sprint to take me out for a drive.

(Sadly though, he ordered it with the auto 'box )

It is an early one, number 801. There are a few older ones still around, but not many.

The handling is hilarious. It has new polybushes on the front. The rest of the set are still in the boot So it currently just wobbles about in a relatively random fashion. In all honesty I didn't expect it to hold out on 2 hard-ish sessions. It is on Yokohama A048Rs and adjustable Spax suspension and lowered springs. Once the bushes are sorted it should handle ok.

The dice were in it when I got it. Can't bring myself to get rid of them

Like changing the name of a boat - bad luck hey

A mate of mine used to have a really nice tricked up sprint, the engine had been tweaked, suspension allround and racing ratio gearbox - went like stink!

I personally saw 145mph out of it and the standing start was incredblie. The biggest thing that let it down were the sofa like chairs that had been left standard so you tended to get flung around.

Nice cars and good to see them getting used!

i love dolly sprints! they are on my 'must own' list for sure.

once saw an ultra cool 1300fwd for sale that had retained its stock 60s looks and interior but had been converted to rwd with a full sprint drivetrain and suspension. looked the nuts imo.
