The Triumph Dolomite Club - Discussion Forum

By way of quick update, car successfully moved from Worthing to its new home in Hatfield, Herts one cold weekend in Dec. The kids have renamed it 'Max' in memory of their great grandfather who owned the car before us. Lots of paperwork detailing history including dealership receipt, looks like Max ...

Thanks for your replies, ive bought a boot lid and two rear doors from ebay, hopefully collect from the understanding seller when and if we come out of lockdown ! I shall inspect the wing closer and see if we can repair as would prefer to keep rather than go down the fiberglass route.

Hi Tinweevil and Steve - thanks for your replies, really useful and food for further thought. In an ideal world i want to keep it original however definitely need a new o/s/r skin as its had a bash, the others have rot on the bottom of the inner door shell which would need cutting out and is above ...

Hello all,

I'm after some advice on second hand panels as i'm new to this, i have found some decent, solid and straight 2nd hand doors from a 1977 1500 dolomite, my question is will they fit a 1975 1850hl? Will the lines match up etc i guess with a little fine tuning, i don't know if there were ...

Its getting cheaper, this is great

don't worry, i'm okay for that, i'm the right side of 50 depending which you you look at it !

I just need to check weights as the self drive option will take a load up to 1.5t which i'm guessing a Dolomite 1850 auto will be under (i will check the specs online)

Thanks fro the replies, really useful and i like the self drive transporter option, less hassle than towing and pretty reasonable!

Shiply rough quote £192
Self drive car transporter - £105 a day inc 250 miles (Hatfield to Worthing 105miles)

Trailer hire roughly £85 day;

In fact now i look back at the pictures she looks better than i remember - viewing on Saturday and will have a look at the sills, floor pans etc along with the tips the forum has provided about boot floor and water trap behind the headlights?

Definitely worth keeping in the family and getting back ...

Hi,

Hopefully followed the forum instructions and this has worked :lol:

No idea of the state of rust yet but dont think it will be too bad as its been garaged over the years, as i say engine last ran about 5 - 7 years ago from memory but could be wrong (wont be the first time!)

Hello all, just wanted to say Hi and having read many of the posts im a little daunted as everyone has so much knowledge, much of which i will take advantage of over the years!
I've got the opportunity to save my late grandfather (in laws) Dolomite, i think its a 1975 1850HL Auto in a rather tired ...
