British Classic

Hi, this is my 1977 Triumph Dolomite 1850HL

Has a 91 HP 1850cc / 113Cu I believe engine
Rear wheel drive, luxurious interior and such style!


What do you guys think?









And yes it was made by the same people who made the Triumph Spitfire (small convertible) that was imported to the US.

Is this the "Dolomite Sprint" or a different version? Sorry, we DON'T see these in the US, only read about them in magazines from time to time. IIRC the interiors are very nice.

I'm not a fan of 4-door cars but these are on the list of cars I find interesting despite the number of doors, along with the Riley One Point Five, the Rover P5 and others.

And are they all yellow?

Re: British Classic

no there not all yellow. The first few (1500 or so) were in Mimosa yellow, mines Inca yellow. You could only get them in Mimosa yellow if you were in australia though.


Mines the 1850hl which has an 1850cc engine with 91 hp. The sprints got alloy wheels, vinyl roof, and a 2 litre 127hp engine. Not bad for a 30 year old 4 pot engine

Re: British Classic

Does anybody out there still drive a Rover P6? My husband and I each have 1968 2000 TCs (in Oregon) and we'd like to connect with any other crazy people like us.
