The Triumph Dolomite Club - Discussion Forum

Hi all new to the triumph club but seem to have ended up with 3 dolomites to restore.
You all probably know of VA 285 it seems to have been around the club with different owners. I picked it up last week from Vic and work has allready started on her, i will be posting pictures as i go along, hopeing to have
her finished by beging June.
Along with 285 will be building a twin bike engined 4 wheel drive sprint, will start a thread on her when work begins in a few weeks time. Be interested to know what you all think

Hiya, welcome to the forum. That all sorts pretty interesting stuff. No doubt this will be watched closely.

Whereabouts are you?

Wishing you well with these plans, Andy. It's odd how I stay only a few miles from Bedlington, yet never yet got to meet Vic or see his twin yellow Dollies.

The twin engined idea sounds like a great project, and it's been done with minis, kittens, Rebels and at least a couple of Bedford Rascal-type vans so there are now people selling various reversing solutions and flywheels to fit for use with car-style, sdp clutches, plus I reckon that the Dolly shell should be just about light enough for bike engines if you use enough of them.

Ive used the twin engine idea before in a kit car i built 10 yrs ago see pic.
I dont live to far away from Vic in Warkworth Northumberland

I'm just down the coast in Ellington so with a bit of luck I'll see the Sprint on the road some day, once it's restored.
