From the seller: “Hi folks here is my 1979 triumph Dolomite 1500 twin carb model 4 speed manual non over drive the car starts runs drives perfect it’s in daily use with no dramas at all 🙂
I’ll describe the car in sections and accurate for you 🙂
Engine – 1500cc starts runs perfect uses no oil or water, on 1st start pull choke flick the key and away it goes 🙂 last year it had a top end rebuild head all rebuilt and head gasket etc it runs lovely
Gearbox – 4 speed manual changes gear perfect no crunches etc had a new clutch kit same time head was done last year
Suspension/wheels – it’s on stock shocks with 1inch lowering springs all round it rides just like a stock car just looks better 🙂 will come with stock springs to, wheels are sprint alloys that have been painted not polished, all 4 tyres are new done 200 miles on them
Brakes – all in good condition just had rear brake cylinders and shoes adjusted, could do with both handbrake cables because the adjuster nuts are sized pair of cables are £50 and take half hr to swap
Interior – factory tan interior front seats in okay condition, base or rear is good top of rear is worn as most Dolomites do, dash has a crack in the top on the passenger side but all cleans up nicely as in the pics
Body – in pageant blue a nice bright colour and looks the part, car cleans up nicely pics taken today of it, but she’s a old girl so has some age related stuff going on, edge the upper front panel has been repaired and wants doing again the rust is visible, rear arches have had work and ready to be done again if your fussy, last year it had new outer sills and couple other bits of welding the outer sills and part the arch are done in black Shultz but over all It’s a really solid car all the inner sills etc are original and solid”
