1973 Triumph Dolomite Sprint

VA/2110-LDL0roadUnited Kingdom

A 1973 Triumph Dolomite Sprint with documented motorsport history, this car — chassis 2110, built on 12 July 1973 — competed in the 1974 Spa 24 Hours as car number 46 for the Butch Racing Team, retiring in the 23rd hour with a suspected rear axle failure. It is believed to have also run at the 1975 Spa 24 Hours and subsequently raced in European Touring Car events across Belgium and Italy into the early 1980s. It retains its last race livery — black, orange, and white with Mach 3 sponsorship — and has been stored in the UK for some years, offered alongside its sister car chassis 3353.
