1972 Triumph Toledo 2 door

[Dollyturbo]

Here's some pictures of the 2 door I picked up recently.

It's brown and rusty. It's quite a lot worse than I oringinally thought, needs both front subframe mounts, N/S rear mount and both cills doing.
I'll be trying to get it welded up and ready for an MOT ASAP. I'll attack the body work when she's on the road.

It's a good job I have a big soft spot for 2 doors.....

How much are the club chassis legs?

goodluck with the restoration looks like it will make a lovely car there are a pair of sills on ebay and there is a toledo advertised for spares in cheshire

[NickMorgan]

That's going to make a lovely car once you have welded it all up. Good luck with the resto and keep us posted.

[Dollyturbo]

Thanks, I'll get there in the end with it.

Took the heater blower out today and found this.....



This was under the battery.....



Think I'll have to stop playing about with my scooters for a bit and crack on with the car

[Modded Toledo]

Best of luck with your project, great to see another early car getting the treatment! If you need any bits do give me a shout, loads of Toledo parts here...

Don't mean to be too nosey, but may I ask where you got it? The only reason I ask is that I was offered a very similar car a couple of months ago and I just wondered if it was the same one.

Dolly turbo did the car come from Kettering.

Nice to see another Toledo getting a restoration it deserves. Good luck with it, I'll be following this restoration with great interest.

The car did indeed come from kettering.

Modded Toledo: Don't suppose you've got any 2 door front seats in tan have you?

It does need a better dash as the varnish has gone all funny and a parcel shelf too.

Here's a few more pictures. My mate that does the welding for me came over and gave me a hand to get the subframe etc out.

Well, that should keep the welder busy for a couple of hours.

Good luck with it. Another 'short-arse' saved from the crusher

PS: Wot !.... No servo

[JPB]

All-drum Toledos didn't have one, did they? Twin leading shoes are self-servoing after all, and men were men back then, and didn't need such wussy accessories.

[2Toledos]

Of course; silly me - forgot the early ones were drums all around

Ive just recently bought this car from near wakefield, i will be getting it back up and running for my son to use as his first car.
