Description

Triumph is not a make option on FB, so we are stuck with Jaguar. Contact Michael with Distinctive Motorcars with questions! ___ This 1973 Triumph Dolomite is a right-hand-drive example that is powered by a 1850cc slant-four mated to a four-speed manual transmission. Finished in blue with black vinyl sail panels, and gray cloth interior. The car is equipped with 13” steel wheels with chrome hubcaps and beauty rings and chrome bumpers. The car reportedly spent time in the UK, New Zealand ...

Our Take:
  • A Rare Gem in Today's Market: The 1973 Triumph Dolomite is not something you see every day in the States. Designed and built at a time when British engineering was all about blending performance with classic styling, the Dolomite's presence in Oklahoma is a bit like finding a piece of the British Isles in the heart of tornado alley. Its journey from the UK through New Zealand and Canada adds a touch of wanderlust to its story.
  • Engine and Performance Roots: Powered by the 1850cc slant-four engine, this Dolomite packs historical punch with its single overhead camshaft and dual Stromberg carbs. Imagine the thrill of driving it with a four-speed manual—it's like engaging in a dance where every downshift is a step, and every upshift is a leap. With recent upgrades like the Pertronix ignition and recored radiator, reliability is less of a worry, which isn’t always something you could say of its peers.
  • Aesthetic and Functional Appeal: The French Blue finish—paired with the black vinyl sail panels and graced by chrome trim—captures the retro style that’s hard not to adore. Those 13” wheels with chrome hubcaps are more than just period-correct; they're icons of the era, echoing the simplicity and elegance of '70s automotive design. Plus, the cabin's wood veneer dash and Smiths instrumentation bring a nostalgic touch of British sophistication.
  • Documented and Honored: This Dolomite’s extensive service history and documentation, capped with a Certificate of Excellence from the Vintage Triumph Register, provides a comforting nod to its well-preserved past. It's not just a car; it's a time capsule with a passport—that speaks to both its allure and its ongoing legacy as a cherished classic. Enthusiasts may find this pedigree compelling, especially those who appreciate a car that's been loved and maintained like a member of the family.
