I sort of know what you mean, but the thing is back in the 1970's Triumph's emphasis was about sporting luxury saloons (and sports cars) as well as an upmarket answer to the average family car. The Toledo was their answer to the Escort 1300 or Viva, the 1500 the answer to a Cortina, the Dolomite (1850) was the answer to the smaller engined less powerful BMW 2002s or Escort Mexico whereas the Sprint matched the more powerful BMW 2002s. There wasn't a place for a 2 door Sprint because Triumph wanted it to be a mid-executive car to compete with and to be better than the BMW and not specifically the Escort RS2000 which paradoxically it did compete with and was compared with. So although a 2 door Sprint would have been a good idea (1500 twin carb'd version was planned as the Toledo TS) it wasn't the car that Triumph wanted. It simply didn't fit the image.

Mark Sadly BL were clueless on image even to the point of taking off the sprint badges on the nose etc ??) The market was middle managers and they LOVED badges and boasting. Ford were masters of image with cars that were just cart sprung old tech they took the market by storm. [i]Never cross the road infront of a Dolomite Sprint towing a trailer. Dont take life so seriously as its just a game and all those that join it never leave alive  My car dont like you laughing. it gets the idea you dont like him..........but if you apologise like I know your gonna. |
