The Triumph Dolomite Club - EzBoard Archive

Why is it everytime I look at this topic it automatically starts up MSM?

<p></p><i></i>

Yeah it would need a full 2000-type tailgate to make it worthwhile. Looking at it again, I think I prefer the version with the saloon rear roofline actually. I haven't got a 2000 estate pic at the same angle as a Dolly to graft the proper rear on to it.<br>
<br>
I keep getting MSM too Alan, glad it's not just my computer. Having said that, I wonder if it's summat to do with Photobucket.

Really good job. I do like the original pictures' rear roof line and C pillar though.<br>
The slight notch back is nice too, reminds me of the Lancia Beta HPE.

This one's better, where's my angle grinder?<br>

<p></p><i></i>

<br>

It was called project sherpa! Apparently designed as a possible rival to the BMW 02 series sports touring estate thingy.<br>

I quite like that although they copped out by using the same rear side windows so you end up with that big pillar. Perhaps with a slightly lowered roofline and taken up to Sprint or 1850 spec....

i think al's real version remindes me of a bristol .<br>
an estate sprint would of looked good i think and it would of been nice to have something a bit different

<p></p><i></i>

The red one looks good! The coupe is real nice too. Based on a toledo shell poss?<br>

Good photoshop work, but...<br>
<br>
I reckon there is a very good reason Triumph never made a Dolomite estate.<br>
<br>
They look like hearses. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>
<br>
If you need more load space buy a trailer. The only really nice estate car I've seen is an Alfa 156 (and that's not a proper estate).<br>

FUGLY! Have a word!!!! Lancia Beta HPE, Scimiter GTE and a MK2 Granada if you need more space than a Volvo in an ugly motor.<br>
If you really have to go for a French car (I hate the French with a passion, no apologies!) the CX safari is not only better looking than its predecessor but you could fit a narrow boat in the boot with room for say, a Dutch barge!<br>
<br>
I guess I'm in the Harris Mann school of automotive design, I would rather have a TR7 than one of them FUGLY French DS things.<br>
<br>
David Bache got it right when he based the Rover P6 on the DS, all the ingenuity and novelty of design but wrapped in beautiful skin.<br>
<br>
DS, innovative for it's time, certainly from an engineer's point of view but pretty? not a chance!<br>
<br>
<br>
I will hold my head up with no helmet for protection on this one!<br>

With you completely Al on the shitroen. If I ruled the world every DS but one would be rounded up and crushed. It'd take a while because I'd only inflict the task upon the clinically blind. The one survivor would be kept for technical curiosity in a windowless vault.<br>
<br>
At a stroke the planet would on average be a much more beautiful place.<br>
