Hmmm. Maybe it would look better in race trim? The drop in height certainly accentuates the 'fins' at the back

i like it, i think it would look better with a bit more out the body though and the proportions of the grill and front pannel fettling with.. if i where to have a go at a sprint id like to do an none saloon.. controversial, id actually like to sprint a mk1 metro hahaha seriously!!!

Oh yes, I like it.

It's quite funny as I was recently discussing with Oliver which variants would make a good sprint.

I don't know if it's the chop or the photo angle, but it does make it look like an 1800!

Not really to my taste, though.

Are you sure it's a Sprint, not a slightly squashed picture?

If it is a Sprint I can't see where its been done.
