As we have seen, none of the internal projects to replace the Triumph Dolomite made it into production under the investment-starved British Leyland regime. But a solution was at hand. In 1979, BL entered into a collaboration with Honda, which gave it access to an off-the-shelf design, the Honda Ballade (basically a Civic saloon). Produced in tweaked form in the UK as the Triumph Acclaim, it was launched in 1981. Photographed at #FOTU 2023. (1/2)
Today, one of the great might-have-beens of the 1970s British motor industry. SD2, a smaller companion design to the Rover 3500 (SD1) was intended to replace the Triumph Dolomite. It combined some of the Dolomite engines with certain parts from the SD1 and the TR7. The project (renamed TM1) was briefly expanded to include a replacement for the Morris Marina before being scrapped in 1975. Snapped at the British Motor Museum, 2023. (1/3)
After yesterday’s Michelotti proposal, today we are looking at another attempt at reskinning the Triumph Dolomite in order to give it a more modern, fancier look. I said a few weeks ago that there was a Panther connection to the small Triumph story and this is it - the 1975 Panther Rio, a Dolly re-clad in bespoke hand-beaten aluminium bodywork, with a Rolls-class wood and leather interior. Snapped at the NEC Classic Car Show in 2024. (1/2)
As the 1970s wore on, the small Triumph saloons were starting to look a bit old fashioned. One idea for a successor was this 1972 proposal for a reskinned Dolomite from Triumph’s established design partner Michelotti. This would have given the Dolly much sharper, modern, Italian-style looks while making as much use of the old car as possible. Squashed away from the main display area at the British Motor Museum at Gaydon in 2023.
In 1971, Triumph launched yet another derivative of its small saloon range, the Dolomite. This combined the rear-wheel drive layout of the Toledo and the twin-headlamp/longer tailed body of the 1500 with a 1.85-litre OHC engine, later expanded to 2 litres for the Sprint. In 1976, the Toledo and 1500 were merged into an expanded Dolomite line-up with 1.3, 1.5, 1.85 and 2.0 engines. Pics: NEC Classic Car Show, 2023. Tomorrow: replacing the Dolomite (1/3)
This is where the story of the small Triumphs gets a bit more complicated. Alongside yesterday’s more basic Toledo, the company also came up with a separate parallel development of the 1300, the larger-engined 1500, which unlike the Toledo, continued to use the 1300’s front-wheel drive layout. There was also a more imposing double-headlamp front-end. (1/2)
In 1970, Triumph developed the 1300 featured yesterday into two separate lines of car. The first was this, the Toledo which had a restyled nose and a two-door body, although later, four-door versions were available too (the 1300 was always a four-door). But the biggest change was a switch from front-wheel drive to rear-wheel drive. Pics taken: The Great British Car Journey, 2023. 1/2
In 1965, Triumph introduced the car intended to replace the Herald, the compact 1300 saloon - although the Herald and its spin-off the Spitfire actually survived for many more years. Like the Herald, the 1300 was designed by Michelotti, but bore a strong family resemblance to the larger 2000. Perhaps as a nod to the success of BMC’s ADO16, Triumph adopted front-wheel drive for the 1300 too. Pic taken: British Motor Museum, 2023. 1/2
Long before the motor industry invented terms like platform-sharing and scalable architectures, Triumph was already doing it in the 1960s with the Spitfire (green car) and six-cylinder GT6 (yellow car), which were based on the Herald/Vitesse, a process facilitated by the Herald’s separate chassis and bolt-on panels, which made it easier to offer different body types. Photos taken at The Great British Car Journey in 2023. Back on the saloons tomorrow.
Yesterday’s Triumph Herald was blessed with rakish, even sporty, good looks but these belied that car’s position as an affordable small saloon, initially fitted with the 948cc engine from the Standard Ten. Its stablemate, the Vitesse, introduced in 1962, combined the Herald body and a more powerful straight-six engine, initially a 1.6, later a two-litre. Note the modified twin-headlamp frontal treatment. Pic taken: The Great British Car Journey, 2023.
In 1959, Standard-Triumph returned to the Triumph brand for its new small car, the Herald, which replaced the Standard Eight/Ten/Pennant line. The British car-makers were turning to the Italian design houses in search of a dash of style, and Triumph found it here with Michelotti. Although it was in most respects an advance, the Herald reverted to a traditional separate chassis structure. Snapped at the National Motor Museum in 2023 and 2024.
