Condition
8
The car has undergone a comprehensive two-year restoration completed in approximately 2020. It has been resprayed, including the underside, and presents in lovely condition, possibly even better than when it left the factory. The exterior paint is described as great condition with even coverage and hue, though there are a couple of small chips on the driver's door edge and the rear section could use a refinish. The interior seats have been re-trimmed and are in great condition, carpets are excellent, but there are some stains on the rear roof lining. The original wheels show some signs of age but no major damage. Mechanically, the engine was rebuilt, and the car performs well once warmed up, though it was slightly juddery when cold. The gearbox and brakes are reported to be good. The car is considered an 'Excellent' condition due to the extensive restoration, with only minor, specific cosmetic imperfections noted.

Triumph introduced the world to the Dolomite in 1971 at the London Motor Show.
It used the body shell from the Triumph 1500 but was equipped with rear-wheel-drive running gear from the Triumph Toledo.
When the Dolomite launched in 1972, it was fitted with a ~91 BHP, 1,854cc slant-four engine.
In 1973, Triumph introduced a sportier variant: the Dolomite Sprint.
This model featured a more powerful version of the slant-four engine, with an increased capacity of 1,998cc.
As a result, power output rose to ~127 BHP.
Both the gearbox and differential were upgraded to handle the additional power and torque from the new engine.
This particular car is a 1976 Dolomite Sprint and it comes to market after approximately 1 year and 3 months with our vendor.
