Sprint 1.7QV - Sold

Post by Josh89 »

This is completely unexpected, but due to an increase in family size later this year, I feel I need to let the Sprint go. I just won't have the time it needs spending on it. If there's no interest, I'll try and store it for a while, but that's another story.

Most of you know, but it used to belong to shrew, who sold it to my old man, who sold it to me last year.

After a service and some tinkering, I put it on the road in April this year. It has 10 months MOT and is taxed until the end of September.

It runs well, I've covered over 1000 miles in it since the MOT even using it for the 40 mile round trip to work most days since.

The bodywork will need attention before too long, but is along way from its grave.

Gearbox, suspension and brakes are all good. It doesn't use oil or water, and doesn't overheat in traffic.

Call me on 07595 603427 with any questions.

I'll get some pictures up asap.

Not sure on price. There's so few about to compare it to. The black 1500 on eBay went for nearly £2000 without an MOT, but may have been in better nick bodily?

Funny this. The guy who bought my Alfetta on Monday and changed his mind on Tuesday said he'd looked at a Sprint in Sleaford recently.
