You haven't put up a poll.......
Now I loved the Sprint, though had an 1850HL (less obvious and nearly as fast) as posted earlier, but I'm not totally sure whether it's cool because it was rather the M3 of its day so too many owners had it for the wrong reasons and didn't know how to use it properly (not you, obviously).
PS Bought mine brand new, built to my spec, in 1976. Serious money in those days (1 years average wage apparently, and basic rate tax at 35%).
