- Although the Triumph Dolomite range, introduced in 1972, had proved to be refined and sporty, competitors such as BMW's 2002 had a performance advantage which was costing Triumph dearly, both in terms of sales and prestige
- To remedy this, they unveiled the Dolomite Sprint in June 1973 powered by a 1,998cc, 16-valve, SOHC four-cylinder producing 127bhp and enabling 119mph and 8.4 seconds to 60mph
- Originally a French-delivered car, this 'Dolly' was converted to right-hand drive following its import and registration in the UK in 1980
- Finished in Tahiti Blue with contrasting vinyl roof and C-pillar coverings with bright yellow 'Sprint' badges with black and grey striped cloth seats and black carpets with wooden inlays to the dashboard
- Inside of the boot lid is signed by Andy Rouse and Gerry Marshall, legendary exponents of the Dolly Sprint in period
- Large history file containing older MOTs, hundreds of historical invoices, partially stamped service record, several hand-written service notes and maintenance records, Dyno print out sheets, the original Passport to Service, owners manual and two sets of keys
