New project - This time with Board Approval!

Post by GTiJohn »

OK so it's not one of our club cars and not even a Rover but I couldn't resist, especially as my first car was also a Dolomite, just not a Sprint and that's of course what I really wanted!

Think of it as the GTi of its time.

These are of course the 'good' photos :laughing2

This time I ran it past my first and as it's neither big, nor ugly and doesn't have orange carpets it got the thumbs up :clapping

It's a long term one and won't deflect me too much from club business
I like Twin Cams, Single Cams, Turbos and 5-cam VVCs :cool
