The Triumph Dolomite Club - Discussion Forum

the orange gang is pleased and proud to welcome mr speedy.

it turns out that beneath the black exterior, the mighty sprintfire is actually vermillion



so while I'm here, anyone who's in the orange gang, please reply below so we know who you are...

Well, I've recently discovered that my project is actually Flamenco. Does that still count ?

I have a red one and a yellow one - that makes orange doesn't it?

I knew you wouldn't be abls to resist saying something about your little discovery!!!


It's gonna stay black tho', have you ever seen an orange Spitfire ????

Appologies to those who have one but I do think Spitty's look bloody awful in that colour.

I do think the saloons can get away with it tho'.

me me me me....

Mine could well be Flamenco as well, I'll have to have a good look for the chassis plate at the weekend. What's the code for Flamenco and Vermillian?
