SUMMARY
Rear-wheel drive, powerful revvy engine, competition pedigree and all in a 1970s saloon with not a Blue Oval badge in sight - the Dolomite Sprint.
DESCRIPTION
- Although the Triumph Dolomite range, introduced in 1972, had proved to be refined and sporty, competitors such as BMW's 2002 had a performance advantage which was costing Triumph dearly, both in terms of sales and prestige
- To remedy this, they unveiled the Dolomite Sprint in June 1973 powered by a 1,998cc, 16-valve, SOHC, four-cylinder producing 127bhp and enabling 119mph and 8.4 seconds to 60mph
- This 1980 example is presented in Inca Yellow paintwork which, whilst not perfect, is very presentable
- The odometer indicates 13,748 miles but there was a documented speedo head change at 82,000 miles (c.95,000 miles from new) with MOT Certificates confirming around 13,000 miles in the last 25 years
- Much work done in 2005-8 with c.£4,000 spent in parts and labour during the last 4,000 miles
- Recent work by our vendor includes new front and rear bumpers, under-riders and domed bolts
