Great nostalgia in these pictures. What a pity it’s all ended and no more Triumph’s are built now. Lovely cars in their era.
Has anyone else noticed the gappy shut line on the rear door of that Dolomite?
Never understood why BL chose Rover instead of Triumph(which was world famous and appealed to all ages)when Rover had already evolved into Land-Rover anyway.
