Club Triumph

Hi
I need help again, (you've always been helpful and I've always found what I need here)

Looking for a passenger side rear exterior door handle for a '67 1300 (before FWD, Toledo, Dolomite designation). I think this is slightly different to the smooth button of the Toledo, it has a 'step' and is angled for the correct side of the car.

It's not a show car but I would like a tidy handle don't mind some pitting and discolouration.

Cheers :)

may have one or two in Bath. Where are you?

Hi

Thanks for prompt reply, I have sent a PM with more detail

Regards

I think the model was just called the Triumph 1300 at the time (and later the 1300TC).

Obviously with all the subsequent small car variations it became know as a 1300 FWD.

Here's one being broken, might be worth stocking up on spares?  :-/

Give Michael Charlton a pm/email for contact details

Hi
Sorry for any confusion I may have caused.
Certainly is a 1300 later called 1300FWD (mine is single carb). The only reason I call it 1300 is because I have had some FWD parts and they are different - possibly some people have mistaken it for later FWD or Toledo?

Hopefully the link will help clear it up

Still haven't located the correct door handle  :-/

I've just had a look on Mick Dolphin's web site and he does have them listed, Part number 709848

I have plenty of handles, some still attached to doors.
I'm not going to be at my workshop until next week so if you haven't got one by then give me a PM.
The other FWD parts that don't fit as said more than likely come off a 1500 FWD (which has the Dolomite shaped body) of even another 1300FWD as there were some engine  changes in the last couple of years of production.
And a fact that doesn't help much is that a lot of people think that some Toledo's were made  FWD, I have even seen Front wheel drive Dolomite's for sale on Ebay :D

Well Triumph did not help matters by having 4 quite different variations of small car in production at the same time.

2 door Toledo (short boot)
4 door Toledo (short boot)
1500 (FWD)
Dolomite (1850 RWD)


Discovered that the rear boot trim on my daugters 1300 Dolomite (76) has different parts to the 1500HL (76) that another daughter owned. The rear boot trim is different because the seams that join the panels are different.
