Hello there,

Does anyone have a nice Dolomite in need of a caring owner? I'm looking for something in really good condition with a lot of early history. £3.5k I am hoping is realistic? Doesn't need to be a Sprint, I would be very happy with a 1500.  Car will be garaged and I will keep it original.

Cheers.

If you don't want a sprint that sort of money should buy you a very nice 1850 or 1500 indeed.

Thanks both, I have now posted on the other site.

I thought I should be a little more specific. Ideal car was one I saw on ebay a year or two back which oddly was a slow seller but was perfect for me as it was:

Twin lamp model (a must for me as it is these that I recall growing up)
Genuine full service history one owner example
Original Passport to Service. I love these.
Nearly all the tax discs from new
Genuinely excellent condition
Overdrive
A nice dark red but I do like the brown ones too! Colour secondary really.

Bit coincidental!!

No overdrive though, still could be easily retrofitted!!

Club Triumph Round Britain Reliability Run: Part of the organising team, and honoured to be associated
RBRR is the best car event in the UK, not probably, it is!

1970 GT6 Mk.2: Royal Blue 6 RBRRs (98, 00,02,04,06 & 10, one failure 14), 2 10CRs (03 & 07). 2 HCRs 1 LCC, lots of Autosolos and numerous track days. Bought in 1983, crikey where did the time go! Lots of modifications, now fitted with a revvy 2000cc engine and she is going very well. GT6 are fantastic little cars that are very under-rated, mainly by people who have not driven one, its slow in and fast out!

1969 2.5Pi Mk.1: Slate Grey 4 10CRs (05, 09, 15 & 17), 4 RBRRs (08, 12, 16 and 187), 3 HCRs, 2 LCCs. A few alloy panels, does need the pi kit fitting. Bought April '04. Needs paint! Just fitted some new 7J Minilites-not copies! The car goes like a train on SUs, so why change! The car just sits and waits and waits and when needed is brilliant fun to drive. Triumph's best design? Impending engine and body work this (2019) Autumn and Winter.

1967 Spitfire mk2: Wedgewood Blue. Bought November 2010. Almost seems civilised. Car has done a RBRR (Dave Picton 2010). Back on the road since March 2017. Raw little car, but fun. Has lots of modifications, nothing too outlandish!

1970 TR6 Maroon. Bought May 2018. Since pruchase: Full suspension re-build, new clutch and propshaft plus re-built driveshafts. Goes well. Blimey, lots more done now, gearbox replaced (Canley Classics unit), 7J black minilites c/w Uniroyal tyres (Crikey, un-stickable), Revington's Targa springs. Now needs some engine work and some brakes. Otherwise, well on its way to becoming a Club Triumph type car, i.e. one that is actually used!

Previously owned:

Triumph Dolomite Sprint (Now owned by Paul Hughes)

Herald 1200 Coupe on mk2 chassis (Now owned by Jess Cook and being properly used)

Vitesse mk2 Conv: Sold in 1983, still on the road!

Various Citroens and Pugs

DD: Focus ST Diesel...torquey!

I know, I love that one. Sadly way beyond my reach at £6k.

What about this? Not a massive fan of the blue. Could the auto be switched for a manual with o/d?

Presume the auto is a 3 speed which I would find really fussy
