| Notes: |
| Notes: | Bought from a garage in Leeds, West Yorks. Id been after one for ages as I learned to drive in a Dolomite 1300 and lusted after a Sprint. Couldnt find one in Sheffield so travelled to Leeds for her.
Always had a problem with the overdrive switch on the gearstick, sometimes it worked, sometimes it didnt. Once I remember smoke coming from the gearstick, the wires leading to the overdrive switch had bared, thought the vehicle was going to go up in smoke. I sold her when I got engaged to my wife as I needed the money. Hope shes still around and loved (the car that is, not the wife - I know where she is), WISH ID STILL GOT HER NOW |
| Fate: | I remember that I sold it to an Electrician that worked at Bassetts Sweets in Sheffield. |
