My dads Triumph Dolomite

[AndyT77]

This is actually my grans old car, when she got too old for driving my dad bought it off her and runs it every summer.

Obviously the handbrake doesn't work as it once did, but using a dog as a chock is a bit harsh

Mmm brown. Is it a 1300 or a 1500?

[Egg Chaser]

Very nice, always liked Dolomites . (Although maybe not in that colour...)

Russet Brown? Special Anti corrosion properties

Looks great, my dad used to have a Dolomite Sprint, which would overheat if you were stationary for more than 12 seconds!

Thanks people, its a 1.5 iirc. I'm feeling all nostaglic now, remembering going out for ice creams by the seaside with my sister and gran! She bought it from new, and there's not many miles on it.

If it's a 1500 it's really a rather rare one, they didn't do many with the square headlamps with the bigger engine, and there aren't that many left of them. It looks in lovely condition too.

My grandad also had a brown one.
