The Triumph Dolomite Club - Discussion Forum

Great restoration. I have been enjoying reading all about it.

I am very pleased to see that Nina has been taken in by the Dolomite Rescue Centre!

There do seem to be some rather intriguing economic strategies going on in the course of "making America great again". Constricting their markets and introducing trade tariffs appear to fly in the face of most other countries' plans. Of course we are not told which period in their history they ...

Interesting. Sadly I don't have any paperwork for the car, as I handed it all over when I traded it in.
I have just thought that the garage I traded it into in Haddington also has a branch in Tranent, so it may have been retained by the garage. I will have to investigate further when I get a chance.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you Rob. It must be an awful situation to be in. I can't imagine what people are going through. I feel that I should be more grateful for our Scottish rain!

Oh yes. My Triumph TR4A. I bought it in 1985, crashed it, restored it, rallied it and then sold it in 1992. It has been on the road and MOTed continuously since then. EGS150D.

As a previous owner of OCF405R I have just checked and see that the last V5C was issued on 23 May 2019. Does that mean that is may have moved to a new owner?
I really hope we can locate the car again and give it a thorough check for filler/corrosion! I see from your other post that it has been ...

Wow! I am really sorry to read about this. You must be heart-broken. These fires are really terrifying.
I am pleased to hear that your house has survived in tact.
I hope that you and your colleagues are able to piece much of the machinery back together and build a new building. It looked like it was ...

It looks like Ben is doing a very nice job. I wish I could have afforded to have brick and breeze block instead of timber, but I have gone for size instead!

Hi Richard,
I have a Toledo, so basically the same. I only use it occasionally as the paint is rather old and porous, so I don't like it to get wet!!
I have kept it completely original. I run it on unleaded and I have had no problems with overheating or fuel vaporisation. Maybe if the car was to get ...

Hello Folks,
The idea of selling Daisy just never settled well with either my wife or myself......so we've decided to keep her.
Additional to that, the idea of no longer visiting this fabulous forum also played a part in the decision.
My apologies.
All the best,
Rob


I don't blame you Rob. Your ...

Excellent! One of my favourite restorations on here at the moment!

Exciting project. I am looking forward to seeing progress. It looks like the builders are doing a great job so far.
I built a garage last year, but ended up having a timber garage, as breeze block and slate roof was prohibitively expensive. I am not 100% happy with it, but I really shouldn't ...

Very nice.
Welcome back.

I see a 2000 mile from new Toledo sold for £7500 on that same web site. Looks like it could be worth me having mine resprayed after all!
