Lot 02: Triumph DOLOMITE 1500 HL
Classic & Collectors' Motor Vehicles, BCA (2nd December 2008)
The Dolomite name first adorned a Triumph motor car in 1934 a Straight Eight sports car very reminiscent of the Alfa Romeo 8C. The model name was then applied to the Walter Belgrove-styled sports saloons and roadster of the late 1930s. Following the acquisition of Triumph by Standard in 1944 and subsequently Leyland, the name was to remain dormant until 1973. Further models were introduced in 1976, and it is a 1500 HL offered for sale here.
First registered in 1978 and finished in Damson with beige cloth interior trim, this example is reported to be of very smart appearance and is described as being mechanically good all round with its twin carburettor engine giving surprisingly brisk performance even by modern standards. A sunshine roof is fitted and the car has a front spoiler, as used on the Dolomite SprintHighly usable and surely representing excellent value, the vehicle is offered with its driver's handbook, V5C document and a current MOT certificate, this being valid until 26th May 2009.
