A rare car in that it was made in otherwise (almost) identical FWD (1300/1500) and RWD (Toledo/Dolomite) forms.

A factor in Triumph’s remarkable commercial success.

I think the fwd 1500 was replaced by the rwd 1500TC, and that car was replaced by the Dolomite. They were not sold concurrently. However the 1300, 1500 and 1500TC versions of the Toledo were sold at the same time as the fwd, then rwd 1500! You couldn't make this up!

IIRC, they built one Stag V8 engine 2.5Pi estate, and the other one was actually a Stag 4x4.

Ferguson Formula also built this LHD 2.5 Pi estate with their FF system for a private Swiss client.

Car has full history from new, has been restored and was for sale a couple of years ago.

Also says that the Landie hasn't been MOT'd for 2 years... which is a bit naughty.

It's registered as a '54, so MOT exempt.

My sister got my Grandad one of these when he died ,she spent about 50p on maintenance and it kept going for years.

I can't imagine he used it much then.

I have a feeling that 's is missing from that post.

The plural of sister doesn't have an apostrophe.

Sorry ,knew I should have edited.

My sister inherited my Grandad's car when he died in about 1975

Not a bad car to get ,seeing at it would have been only 4yo then.

not for me thanks. I know it's a seminal classic, but i think it looks like a horrific ebay modified cross between an amphi-car and a pickup truck.

It is a bit dolphin-like but I dig it

That SL above is just perfect, especially in that colour with white wall tyres

I wonder if that's Iva's barchetta in the background.

I see! That would've been quite a coincidence.
