Triumph Dolomite - An Enthusiast's Guide

This book presents a model-by-model history of the Triumph Dolomite family, a range of sporty saloons produced from 1965 to 1980.
It began with the Triumph 1300, featuring front-wheel drive and a four-door body designed by Giovanni Michelotti. In 1970, the Triumph 1500 and the three-door Toledo were introduced. The Dolomite, launched in 1972, had a slant-4 overhead cam engine and rear-wheel drive.

The high-performance Dolomite Sprint, introduced in 1973, strengthened Triumph's reputation with its 16-valve engine and innovative engineering. In 1976, the entire range was renamed 'Dolomite, ' covering four-door saloons with engines from 1300 cc to 2 litres.

With technical specifications, over 150 colour photographs, competition history, and a guide to buying and owning these classic cars, this book provides a complete overview of the Triumph Dolomite.

Triumph 1300 to Dolomite Sprint

This book begins with the history of Triumph, its rescue by Standard Motor Company, and the effort to replace the bestselling Herald with a more modern design, influenced heavily by Italian designer Giovanni Michelotti.

"Triumph 1300 to Dolomite Sprint" covers the full range of models that succeeded the Herald. Starting with the front-wheel-drive 1300 and 1500 models, author Kevin Warrington details the shift from front-wheel to rear-wheel drive, the introduction of the two-door Toledo and four-door Dolomite models, and concludes with the high-performance but fragile Dolomite Sprint.

The book also highlights the Dolomite's strong motorsport history, featuring both period and modern color photographs. It offers enthusiasts all the information needed about this notable range of mid-range Triumph cars.
