February 26, 201412 yr Author comment_197979 thanks mate, yeah a rare sight these days, im wondering if I have the last shell there is? certainly on the estate front ? Report
February 26, 201412 yr comment_197982 Interesting, i built a Dolomite Sprint (apart from spraying) from a new B/L shell in the late 1980,s and the shell came with all wings, doors, bonnet and boot fitted. I have a couple of new ( not for sale ) Saloon rear doors that my father in law saved at the last minute from a new shell that had been cut up for scrap and he told me it came to the customer complete with all panels, doors etc fitted. Have you removed the doors etc or did it come without these panels? Report
February 28, 201412 yr comment_198060 Is this not the one that Andy and Dougie found with the MOD? If it is that's how it came and it's later than 1980. What would Gordon do? Report
