Trimump Dolomite (OT)

johannes · 2013-06-22T12:52:58+00:00

We must go back a long time... Triumph had a range of nice cars 1300, 1500, Toledo, Dolomite. The 1300 and 1500 were FWD. The Toledo and Dolomite were RWD, or so it seems. However, as we know, the slant 4 engine in Dolomite was adopted for the Saab 99. So were there also some versions of Dolomite with FWD? Triumph mixed and macthed the range many times over the lifespan, based on previous models from the range. So could the 1500 have been turned into a FWD Dolomite at some point? Just askin...

That was an oblique reference to the Stag POS.

Now, I was unaware of, or had forgotten that.

Oblique and obtuse. Or, p'raps, grave and acute.

It never hit production. They decided to slap a turbo on instead, before resurrecting it briefly in a 9000 prototype - killed, that time, by the GM buy-out and their v6.

Damn. I want one, now. By this time it would have been a banger and dirt cheap to pick one up.
