(Very) Long shot... anyone know the current whereabouts/owner of this vehicle... It's a pale blue '72 registered Dolomite, originally an 1850, last seen with Sprint running gear... Any info gratefully received.. Ta..

Good news!

The Dolly still exists! It was originally registered in Lincoln. I'm sorry that I can't give you any more info. Try posting on the TSSC messageboard (if you're a TSSC member) or the TDC forum.

Thanks! At least she still exists... Sadly I let my TSSC membership lapse a while back... I might try the TDC forum, though I got the impression the chap I sold her to wasn't really into his Triumphs that much...   So 'tis a long shot... ho hum..

Hi Dave,

Indeed - holy thread revival.

Would you mind asking the current owner of the car if he'd be willing to share his email address with me? I just want to talk about events with him, but I'm not on the TDC forum (Unlikely to join too as I don't have a Dolomite and probably won't for some time to come).

Awesome news, I'm glad she's still going.  That was one car I always regret having to sell..

Thanks Theo!  I do drop in now and again.. Sadly no Triumphs - I emigrated to Peru a few years ago, and between the cost of cars here, parts availability, the climate, traffic in Lima, and (lack of) security, a Triumph won't be able to feature for some time yet.  There are a huge range of older cars over here, but mostly from USA or Asia.  That said I have seen a couple of TR7s, a Herald and a couple of Spitfires on my travels.

The current owner of RVL doesn't appear to have returned to his thread on the TDC fórum, I wonder if he still has her.  Did anyone else have contact with the chap??

We have several customers in Peru mostly owing early Spitfires, and the odd Herald.

What do I know?

I sold a steering rack to a guy in Peru on eBay a few years ago. It got caught up in customs and I don't know if he got it or not...
