Its been restored and I am not too sure what's gone on with the rear panel under the bumper ? As always its interesting to see where it will end up money wise . A long way ahead of the Dolomite Sprint which has been destroyed by the fitting of that sun hatch . What a bargain these Sprints are for the money .

Maybe the people that lusted after that stuff are getting fewer?
Who knows
I’d be more after the Dolly Sprint and Escort personally- have no real desire or connection to a Stag/TR5/Lotus - I’m in my late 50s
I think that the people are indeed getting fewer and I think someone mentioned that previously . Generations and the cars they lust after are I suppose constantly changing . Perhaps even that great love affair we all have for the car is on the decline too . I certainly find it hard to get emotional about an EV as without that soundtrack and smell I might as well be buying a piece of furniture . I won’t decry Lotus because I never owned nor have I driven one . They were my fathers generation with Jim Clark , Colin Chapman and building “specials” in a lockup . Every time I look at one all I think of is Car Mechanics Magazines and relentless searching for bad earthsWho knows

In the late 80s a pal Geoff, had an early blue Sprint rally car, twin 45s and many other trick parts. He had it parked just around the corner from his house in south Chingford, opposite the top of the alley way that led to his garage. One day, a recovery truck turned up and dragged his Sprint up onto it and disappeared…
My pal knocked up the neighbours and they said that “ we thought it had broken down and was being taken for repair “…..
Unfortunate but you take my point ?My pal knocked up the neighbours and they said that “ we thought it had broken down and was being taken for repair “…..
Yeah nice the GT , from memory they had a very short production run , two years I think ? I wouldn't hazard a guess on which was the rarer the GT or the Tiger which came later . My old man never rated either of them religiously sticking to the Dolomite Sprints though how much of that was simply brand loyalty , I don't know . I am thinking back to those Rootes Performance Saloons of the Seventies , the Hunter GLS I suppose would be another ? The Hunter suffered from one problem , the Ford Cortina
