As new Dolomite 1500HL Anyone?

Brown was a surprisingly popular colour in the 1970's and I thought it was making a comeback a few years ago too, heavens knows why in both cases?

PS - Apologies to owners of Brown cars!!🫣

I had a dog poo brown 1300 Dolly about 10+ years ago as my daily. Drove it to Solihull plant for a year and during that time they introduced a nice brown colour. Always hoped it was because someone had seen my Dolly in the car park 😁

It was a nice car to drive and do regret selling

It was wasn't, maybe after the swinging sixties and all the stuff people smoked/inhaled their sense of perception was still suffereing. . .

The advert refers to a single over head cam.     Is there something im missing?

Yes, I noticed that.

Maybe they are getting mixed up with the 18/50 Dolomite?

The milage on the speedo says 39819

So could be 39819 or 139819 or not original Speedo 🤷‍♂️

Do I recall correctly, that some Dolly`s where in the dark brown, I`m sure as I can be from this distance in time the one my son had, which was stolen and trashed was much darker.

"Gusset" brown reminds me of watching the girls play Netball from the windows of the boy`s gym. Sadly, any still alive will probably be great grandmother`s by now!

This one may be a tad over-optimistic, selling locally to me but at £3100; might be a Sprint but the other pics show serious rust in places.:

Common Pete, you remember the seafarers saying "Even old ladies need loving"

I do remember "Grab a granny night", at the Liverpool Rank dance hall?. Getting the Junior engineers "turned to" and finding Mature Ladies trying to hide under their sheets!.

Vaguely rings a bell, My younger engineers, and the deck department used to go regularly, when in the `pool. The theory? being less risk of picking up "Jail Bait"!
