The Triumph Dolomite Club - Discussion Forum

just got back a short run to mumbles and then home and driving the vette , on the home run was behind a pink caddy 59' he pulled in for a fuel stop as we do quite regularly .....

my son rang Sunday said he saw a 1930's Bentley up north (Wakefield ? ) on the motorway going at 70/75mph he said guy had his goggles on and what a small screen , sounded quite different to todays cars

Something I've not seen for ages. A M.G. Magnette ! The Farina styled one. I've always liked these and this one is even in the Tartan red and grey that the old Family A55 II was done in.
Better still it had driven all the way from Holland. Good used every day condition, but could be due for some body work soon.

Goodness knows, but the wheels were made of wood.

Loving the Magnettes, though I would prefer the Varitone next to it.

Saw a lovely yellow Spit 1500 on the way home from church yesterday...made a nice convoy with me in the Dolly for a bit near Hampton Court.
Onwre had the roof down, hope he didnt get too wet in the shower which reminded me the wipers on mine need attention...something is a bit noisy!.

Saw a French registered Renault 4 estate (or a van with windows?) loaded with assorted luggage headed north on the A99.

From the shape of the nose I'd say its a Renault, circa 1906, but its only an educated guess!

Nice Sprint in White outbound from Town in the Twickenham bit of the A316 today....waved but wws in t he corsa so unlikely he noticed me.

Then later that same journey saw a Renault 4 in the closest colour to Triumph Topaz orange....long time since I saw one of them.

...and they dont improve with not seeing either...ugly things really.

on the way toward Haverfordwest spotted a tr2 /3 and an old riley think the tr was 722 yug / guy /ugy? or close

Not today but last Tuesday we went to west Wittering and spotted a lovely emerald early 1850 on the A27 roundabout near Chichester.
Always nice to see an early proper one being used and I love emerald.

Todays mention is the nice white Vitesse mk1 convertible and the yellow Stag owned by Moss staff....well done guys for regularly driving them to
the workplace...

For those who appreciate a rare Rover...

no idea what it was. pulled out in front of me as i was going through Nantwich town centre earlier this week..


35mph at flat chat. sounded awesome!

A Gwynne 8 "Brooklands" according to the DVLA! Apparently built in London from 1918 to 1929, the number plate could be significantly earlier - B# was issued in Lancashire from 1904 to 1919!

A real MG Metro 6R4, at the Whitchurch Motor Club's Anything That Goes Car Show. More pictures on blog.

white xk ..roof down going 70+mph toward amanford 294 YUG sounded nice

Well, not quite a spot but this is what's now on sale at the company.... http://www.thegallerybrummen.nl/nl_NL/a ... tails.html
