The Triumph Dolomite Club - Discussion Forum

Hello all,
I know these have been discussed a few times on here... although I just saw this picture and I want it


Anyone know where you can buy one or know of someone who is selling one I love the look of it

Thank you
Jack

I moved your topic to the Dolomite related section - as it is!

Wasn't it Autoplas that made these? I believe they are rarer than a dry day in England, I am sure there would be a demand if someone was to get them re-made. I would have one.

In Holland once a year they pop up at the NL marketsites.

I would go for one as well if they were available, but only if I can find and fit one of those smith heated rear window kits

Yep sorry about that just realized posted in the wrong section originally! Yeah they are quite rare by the sounds of things?, a shame really I would love one

Cheers
Jack

I know someone who has one - and he's not selling! Though it's just possible he might lend it for re-manufacture. I too would love one, they are the height of 70s kitsch. I did hear (though my informant may be mistaken) that Autoplas is still in existance as a company. From other comments i've seen, I reckon we could stir up about 20 orders at least!

Why on earth would you want one of those? they don't work very well, peel off with exposure to condensation and the sticky pads where the wires go on are too heavy and snap the wire film off.
Just get a heater rear window from any Dolly and fit that!

Thanks all for the replys, yeah that would be very cool if they were to make a few. I would like to buy one if one ever became available

Thanks
Jack

Some months ago I took my Autoplas louvre to a moulding specialist where it was used to produce a new former. A few minor modifications have been made to increase rigidity and the method of attachment has been changed. Once everything is sorted I intend to have a batch produced to be sold at cost. I'll update when I can.

Put my name on one please!

And welcome back Jim, its great to hear from you again!

Thanks Steve.

I'll pop your name on the list for a louvre. My initial thought was to have ten made, although it would obviously be more economical to have more.

Can you put my name down for one please, or maybe two depending on the price.

Put my name on one as well please, possibly two.

Great, lots of interest! I shall take note of all the names and will update ASAP.

Slightly off topic, but the PO of my vermillion Sprint had fitted a slim black venetian blind inside the rear screen. It looked pretty good, and would have been a possible alternative to external louvres, but I removed it years ago and don't know the maufacturer.
