History: Dolmite Sprint was built by Roger Dowson at Gerry Marshall Racing, as a production saloon, in the late 70s. It was first raced by Chuck Nicolson (Charles Nickerson) in the British Uniroyal and Monroe Production Saloon Car Chapionships. In 1980/1981 it was raced by Roger Payne, winning both championships. It held class lap records at every major UK circuit. It was then campaigned by Henry and John Rice through 1982/84. In 1985 it subsequently passed into the hands of Peter Brown, who stored the vehicle until 2004. When Ken Clarke purchased it in a deal for a job lot of rare race spares. He then sold it on to Bob Kett who systematically restored the car over a 5 year period, useing the vast knowledge and skills of Ken Clarke. Ken did extensive work to upgrade the car for todays race standards and specification's. The car sold in 2010 at an auction in Oxford and then in 2011 i purchased it.
