Hello there folks...
I have been told that Triumph had quite an extensive film department meaning that there are quite a few celluloid 'documents' of their greatest vehicles as it were...?!
I am very keen to know if they did a film specifically for the Dolomite Sprint...?! Can anyone of you good people enlighten me and perhaps tell me more?!?!?!
It'd be great to see a film relating to this most wonderful of cars...
Many thanks to you all in advance...

Hello there, thank you for your response...
I have seen 'This is Triumph' many times (I just cannot help myself!!!) and I just think that although the last few minutes of that film tell us a little bit about the Dolomite Sprint there must have been a film that was made specifically for that car...
It was a HUGE thing for Triumph after all...!!!
Can anyone help further...?!
Thanks to you all in advance...

It was 'the old days', maybe there is a stone tablet.

I think that even if the car itself didn't get a big launch film the engine would have as it was something pretty special and won various important awards...
Someone, somewhere must know more...?!

I remember seeing a cutaway Sprint engine at a car show in Bristol some years ago. Presumably, this was produced by Triumph and would have been used in some sort of publicity, either live or on film?
