The Triumph Dolomite Club - Discussion Forum

Well, made it there, if not back under our own steam, due to a major issue with sheared off wheel nuts

Other than that, had a really great day!

Cheers
Jeff

Another good event in hot sunshine. I had a bit of trouble finding the place. If you followed the signs you ended up on an industrial estate with all the Triumphs on the other side of a wire fence. Still, I got there in the end.
Hello to the nice black S.E. I passed on the way out as I was going in.

An excellent turn out of our cars. I counted 18 in total.
CBL, DRK, FUD, HCY, HOH, JGK, WVF, OFL, OGJ, RVX, SWK, TYT ( doing gate duty I think ? Thank you ) TUL, WLT, XFG, MSO, EPX.

The best bit had to be the hill-climb. Do you stay in 1st gear for the whole climb or 1st --> 2nd ---> 1st ?

Same again next year ?

Tony.

Hi all,
I have to agree with all the comments previously said, great convoy, great venue, great day..!

Here's a few more pics;

Len's low mileage early Sprint, Perry's garage found low mileage late Sprint & Tony's recently restored modified Sprint...



Reg's Sprint...



Beejay's 1850...



Carmine Sprint, owner unknown...



Another Dolly, snapped late in the day...



TUL, hiding in the shade with lovely leather interior...



A lovely looking 1300 FWD...



And another hiding under cover...



You can't go to Brooklands without a pic of Concorde...



A 1500(?) XFG & Sprint RVX represented the 'Dolly' marque on the hill climb...









Here's something you don't see everyday, the Triumph Fury (1964 prototype)











After show party (evening meal), was held at the 'Stag on the River'...



Once again a great day and big thanks to Tango Charlie (Chris) for organising...

Cheers Dave

Thanks for the fine pictures Dave.

I felt very honoured to see the Fury in the flesh..very pretty thing. It's lovely to see it out and about, but as it's a one off, how the hell isn't it owned by the heritage museum?

A bit like the Stag fastback, they can't own them all I suppose..

Great Pics Dave, thanks to all those that made the trip, you cannot beat a Dolly convoy in the sunshine.
