About this car

The Dolomite Sprint was Triumph's compact sports saloon of the 1970s, notable for its 16-valve slant-four engine, which was advanced for its time. This example, PUS 887M, was first registered in April 1974 and delivered new in Sapphire Blue. It spent its early years in Glasgow and has Navy upholstery with wood trim against a black vinyl dashboard.

It shows 73,000 miles, backed by paperwork. The history file lists a partial respray and bodywork in 2016. In 2017 it gained adjustable front shocks with lowering springs, and a front brake upgrade using Golf GTI discs and Ford Sierra calipers. It has been garaged since 2017.

A rear brake service in 2025 included a new wheel cylinder and brake pipes. The dealer says the car has been inspected on a ramp and the underside is sound, and that it will be supplied freshly serviced with a full MOT. The car has overdrive.
