Designed to be a replacement for therear-wheel drive\u00a0Triumph Herald,\u00a0the 1300 was originally fitted with a 1,296\u00a0cc (79\u00a0cu\u00a0in) engine and\u00a0front-wheel drive. The later model, introduced in September 1970 as the\u00a0Triumph 1500, featured a remodelled front and rear, styled by\u00a0Michelotti, and a larger 1,493\u00a0cc (91\u00a0cu\u00a0in) engine.<\/p>\n<p>Designed as the successor for the upmarket variants of the\u00a0front-wheel drive designs, and also for the 6-cylinder\u00a0Triumph Vitesse, a sporting relative of the Herald, the Triumph Dolomite was presented at the\u00a0London Motor Show\u00a0in October 1971. However, due to a number of strikes and other industrial upsets, the car was not reported to be in full production until October 1972.\u00a0The name &#8220;Dolomite&#8221; had been used by Triumph for a range of models prior to the Second World War and this name was revived for the new car. The Dolomite used the longer bodyshell of the front wheel drive\u00a0Triumph 1500, but with the majority of the running gear carried over from the rear-wheel drive\u00a0Triumph Toledo.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Triumph_Dolomite\" target=\"\u201c_blank\u201d\">wikipedia.org<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Click on each image for larger version.<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.swva.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Triumph-Dolomite-001.jpg\" target=\"\u201c_blank\u201d\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-5638\" src=\"http:\/\/www.swva.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Triumph-Dolomite-001-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Triumph Dolomite 1300 entered into April 25th Classic Car Auction\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.swva.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Triumph-Dolomite-006.jpg\" target=\"\u201c_blank\u201d\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-5643\" src=\"http:\/\/www.swva.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Triumph-Dolomite-006-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Triumph Dolomite 1300 entered into April 25th Classic Car Auction\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.swva.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Triumph-Dolomite-005.jpg\" target=\"\u201c_blank\u201d\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-5642\" src=\"http:\/\/www.swva.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Triumph-Dolomite-005-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Triumph Dolomite 1300 entered into April 25th Classic Car Auction\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.swva.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Triumph-Dolomite-004.jpg\" target=\"\u201c_blank\u201d\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-5641\" src=\"http:\/\/www.swva.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Triumph-Dolomite-004-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Triumph Dolomite 1300 entered into April 25th Classic Car Auction\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.swva.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Triumph-Dolomite-003.jpg\" target=\"\u201c_blank\u201d\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-5640\" src=\"http:\/\/www.swva.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Triumph-Dolomite-003-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Triumph Dolomite 1300 entered into April 25th Classic Car Auction\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.swva.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Triumph-Dolomite-002.jpg\" target=\"\u201c_blank\u201d\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-5639\" src=\"http:\/\/www.swva.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Triumph-Dolomite-002-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Triumph Dolomite 1300 entered into April 25th Classic Car Auction\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.swva.co.uk\/classic-car-auction-catalogue\/\">Return to the full catalogue.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Triumph Dolomite 1300 1978 sold for \u00a31,200 at our\u00a0April 25th Classic Car Auction Lot 10 Very rare Triumph Dolomite with low mileage.
