1975 Triumph Dolomite Sprint Broadspeed?
Aarhus, Denmark, may 2015 on the track at the CRAA 2015, free practice for the 1976/80 class, piloted by Bo Hansen.
According to a story on a Triumph site, this is an original ex-Broadspeed car, exported around 1985 (but UK export flag not activated), bought by danish driver Bo Hansen and started participating in classic racing in 2007.
In 2013, while taking part in that year's CRAA race, the engine caught fire, causing much drama (I remember seeing footage of it, probably on Youtube), but the car was fixed and racing again the following year (hillclimb racing)
In 2015 it was back at CRAA, where this photo was taken during free practice on friday.
There are several photos of the car on the internet, but not with the GB license plate. Maybe this can help clarify, whether or not it is one of the original Broadspeeds? I have a photo of the engine bay with several plaques and (semi-)readable numbers, which may help even further?
