what would you do with it?
if you drive it  the miles go up and the value goes down
if you park it up and dont use it whats the point in having it?

A Dolly Sprint was a 2.0 4 pot and one of the first 16 valve engines for the masses  :-?

The bigger Triumph saloons Mk I & Mk II could both be had with a 2.5 straight six.  :y

I would waxoil it, put new tyres on and replace every rubber seal in the braking system and then use it every day, and in the summer months I would unbolt the roof, (8 bolts if I recall correctly) and swan around in it, glad that I hadnt forked out the same amount of cash for a crappy new Kia or similar :y

88 miles from new..which equates too 2 miles a year..possibly out of garage to mot station then back into garage for another year?? :y without a modification when you take off the roof the doors could potentially swing open lol when going around bends roundabouts :y

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

Yes and get seriously injured as a gust of wind causes the support strutt to hold causing it to crash down on you.

Bloody leathal setups and best worked on with a piece of 2x2 inserted as a prop
