    I had a few mk1 Escorts years ago, so want one again, but most drive like what they are, an old car lol

    I know the fella Matt who sold the rust shell, used to be one of my customers, he has a few Triumph Dolomite sprints too and a stag. I think he had a right result selling it for £8,000 !!!!

    Amazing money for a shell. But not too many about so supply and demand I guess.....

    Bet you'd still make money on it though?

    Bought a Dolly Sprint when I was 18, was like a rocket ship back in the 70s, just can only imagine trying to insure the equivalent car at 18 nowadays.

    My mates had Sprints, MK1 Lotus Cortina, Jags, V8 Rovers, 2002Tii,
    And that was in addition to the bikes.

    Youth of today are missing out on so much automotive quality.

    Enjoyed the show too!

    I had a Rover SD1 V8S at 18 then the Vitesse V8 EFi at 20!

    You'd have no fecking chance of insuring the today's equivalents at that age!
