Bloody hell, that's a good spot......Think I've only seen one on the road and that was being driven by Bob Jankel on Motor Show day.

Only 38 produced.
A posh dolomite by all accounts finished to Rolls Royce standard.
Looked like a badly finished kit car to me.

I think R-R might have had something say about that claim although the paint finish did seem fairly well done when they were new. I'm pretty sure the original badging was a bit better than ironmonger's garden gate numerals too. I cannot imagine a re-fettled Dolomite was ever going to age well, though.

Never mind, still a bloody good spot!
