Is this right ?

#1 Post by Stan Part » Sat Jun 18, 2005 5:38 pm

I found this :<br>
<br>
<!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.ingenious.org.uk/media/4.0_S ... 3342_3.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br>
<br>
<br>
The caption reads :"Line of Triumph Dolomites awaiting construction, Merseyside, 1965."<br>
<br>
Whilst I realise they are not Dolomites but Triumph 1300's but I thought that Speke factories only came "on line " in the early '70s with the introduction of the Toledo - am I right ?<br>

account for the appaling rust resistance of most 1300 fwd's Ive known.<br>
I was actually quite worried about dolomite inner wings in the early days of ownership having seen the state of a friends F reg 1300....some 20 odd years ago this is.<br>
<br>
Everything Ive ever seen made at Speke rusts...early TR7s or some Stags being the favourites.,<br>
<br>
Thank goodness Dollies were all made at Canley.<br>
