The Triumph Dolomite Club - Discussion Forum

Holbeach? That is indeed where a certain 'triplecustard' lives. PM him to intro yourself.

So you want a 105R eh?

I think there are only seven left and I know a familly that has 3 of them....

Not cheap to own or run though.

Yes Jon, rare beasts indeed, but that doesn't prevent a chap wishing. Some day I'll find one, even if different bits of it have to be dug up from different locations.

Great pictures. I bought a Herald Estate from someone who drove buses for a company near Spalding. He showed me a collection of classic cars and buses that belonged to the person who owned the company. It would be cool if it was the same place.

Welcome to the forum. Lovely looking car and polishes up a treat, really like the pics of the car and garage. It's a car nut's dream to discover and explore cars in garages..

I salivate at the thought of all those motors out there waiting to be found again..

Good to have another Dolly-lover. It was and is my first car, no regrets after a year and half!

Hi again everyone,

Wasn't sure whether to create a new post so I didn't I just posted a reply

Here are some pics I have taken of the work I've done so far. I have now done alot of cosmetic work on the front. For part of this I used a 'Filler Primer' from Halfords which is a very close match to sandglow. I noticed in halfords they had 'Rover Sandglow' is this the same or very simlar to the Triumphs Sandglow colour?




















Thanks again for all your kind comments.

Lovely stuff. Keep at it. Cor, I'd love to work in that envirnment.

Thanks ... It is indeed very nice to work in - I'm very lucky. Its only down to my dad and his 2 buses which need to be kept undercover. We have a pit aswell which I'm hoping to put to use sometime this year to check the Dolomite over underneath.

I see your Dad has both types of buses - red AND green.

Sandglow Dolomite.... Check
Big red bus.......... Check
Big green bus..... DOH, now I know whats missing from my life

Oh hold on what about the blue buses and the yellow buses?
