Keeping the car at the top of its game, two of the UK's most gifted engineers (first by Harry Webster, then Spen King) were responsible for allowing the vehicle to be an excellent example of product planning and platform maximization. The <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a title="Triumph Dolomite 8 Parts 3" href="http://triumph-classic-cars.blogspot.com/2011/01/triumph-dolomite-8-parts-3.html">Dolomite</a></span> went out of production in 1980, but at that point had already enjoyed a 15-year production run, while achieving many monumental ‘firsts' along the way.<br /><br />Though not a trained engineer or stylist, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Donald Healey</span> was one to inspire and produce exceptional vehicles. The <span style="font-weight: bold;">1937 Triumph Dolomite Roadster</span> is such an example. Joining <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a title="The History Of The Triumph Classic Cars" href="http://triumph-classic-cars.blogspot.com/2010/04/history-of-triumph-classic-cars.html">Triumph</a></span> in 1933, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Healey</span> soon became the company's technical director, where he quickly began upgrading <span style="font-weight: bold;">Triumph</span>'s production vehicle range of <span style="font-weight: bold;">Gloria</span>'s and <span style="font-weight: bold;">Vitesses</span>.<br /><br />The new <span style="font-weight: bold;">Dolomites</span> in 1936 featured their ‘waterfall' style of radiator grill, a production of an obvious inspiration from the latest <span style="font-weight: bold;">Hudson Terraplanes</span>. Added to the body style that appeared in 1938, this distinctive feature had the effect they were looking for. Produced in limited numbers, the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Dolomite Roadster</span> was more ‘<span style="font-weight: bold;">drop-head</span>- than ‘<span style="font-weight: bold;">roadster</span>', and was available in two forms, a four-cylinder 1,1767 cc type, or a six-cylinder 1,991 cc model with a longer wheelbase. The waterfall grille was matched to a two-seater front compartment, and a long sweeping tail concealed a lift-up panel which esconsed two further ‘dickey' seats. With a top speed of nearly 80 mph, the six-cylinder engine made it a very commodious rally vehicle.<br /><br />Under the codename ‘<span style="font-weight: bold;">Ajax</span>', the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Dolomite</span> development began in 1962. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Leyland</span> was interested in replacing the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Herald</span>, and <span style="font-weight: bold;">Harry Webster</span> was soon hard at work to produce the best package to replace the old <span style="font-weight: bold;">car</span>, including front wheel drive. Needing to ensure that the new model possessed the traditional <span style="font-weight: bold;">Triumph</span> virtue of a tight turning circle (31 feet), along with the allowance of a short nose, the decision was made to choose a longitudinal engine. Allowing for longer oil change intervals, the gearbox did not share the engine oil (like the Mini/1100), and the engine was placed in a sitting position over the gearbox. Once the layout was decided upon, the decision for the 1300cc engine was a simple choice. In the earlier stages of development, a two-door version was a popular idea. The two-door bodywork was deemed important to the model, as the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Ajax</span> was initially drawn up as a replacement for the<span style="font-weight: bold;"> Herald</span>.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><strong>Related</strong> : <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a title="Triumph Classic Cars" href="http://triumph-classic-cars.blogspot.com/search/label/Triumph%20Classic%20Cars">Triumph Classic Cars</a></span><em> </em><br /><strong>Related</strong> : <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a title="Triumph Cars" href="http://triumph-classic-cars.blogspot.com/search/label/Triumph%20Cars">Triumph Cars</a></span></div><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>Related</strong></em></span> : <strong>Triumph Dolomite 8 Parts 4</strong> By Guide ~ <em>Triumph Dolomite 8 Parts 4</em>, <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Classic Triumph Cars</span></em>Gooharahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16556277773041039361noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4777663803543959062.post-48823674091097253832011-01-30T13:44:00.000-08:002011-01-30T13:57:21.957-08:00Triumph Dolomite 8 Parts 3<h1 style="text-align: center;"><em><strong><span><em><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Classic Triumph Cars</span></strong></em></span></strong></em></h1><h2 style="text-align: center;"><em><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Triumph Dolomite 8 Parts 3</span></strong></em></h2><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE2vXrp0UHdUEP4f-_sIddmUpYXuYjXaOVIm6N1gbSvaKq11A8bw9a0h8bWcNJJAlw9cB5GIwHxsX2pIfJRflnT-yqvh8mYGOeWUJtMX027tTPnu4ElizTGVMhZ0khwMOhUcY0hjnPd65C/s1600/1934_Dolomite_8_a.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 290px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE2vXrp0UHdUEP4f-_sIddmUpYXuYjXaOVIm6N1gbSvaKq11A8bw9a0h8bWcNJJAlw9cB5GIwHxsX2pIfJRflnT-yqvh8mYGOeWUJtMX027tTPnu4ElizTGVMhZ0khwMOhUcY0hjnPd65C/s400/1934_Dolomite_8_a.jpg" alt="Triumph Dolomite 8 Parts 3 ~ Classic Triumph Cars" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568099984482578498" border="0" /></a><br />Picture Of <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><h3><em>Classic Triumph Cars</em></h3></span></strong></div><h2><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>Classic Triumph Cars</strong></em></span><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" > </span></h2><h3><em><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Triumph Dolomite 8 Parts 3</span></strong></em></h3><div style="text-align: justify;">The first thing one may say of the supercharged straight-eight <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a title="Triumph Dolomite 8 Parts 3" href="http://triumph-classic-cars.blogspot.com/2011/01/triumph-dolomite-8-parts-3.html">Dolomite</a></span> was that it was the greatest racecar <span style="font-weight: bold;">Triumph</span> ever built.

However this car did not make production, only 3 being made. The engine was of 1990 cc capacity with twin overhead camshafts and fitted with a Roots type supercharger. The engine output was 120 bhp (89 kW) at 5500 rpm giving the <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>car</strong></em></span> a top speed of over 110 mph (175 km/h). Lockheed hydraulic brakes with large 16 inch (400 mm) drums were fitted.

Even today, prewar <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong><span style="font-weight: bold;">Triumph's Cars</span></strong></em></span> are found more often ‘down under' than any other location outside of the U.K. Named after a constellation that was visible only in the southern hemisphere, the <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong><span style="font-weight: bold;">Southern Cross</span></strong></em></span> was produced until 1937.<br /><br />Featuring two-seat roadster bodywork, the 1935-1937 <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong><span style="font-weight: bold;">Southern Cross</span></strong></em></span> came with twin spares on the rear, and had a classic slab gas tank. Though wider and appearing larger, the four cylinder vehicles have a profile and length quite similar to a <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>T series MG</strong></em></span>. The very unique six-cylinder vehicles were stretched 9' between the radiator and the firewall which attributed to the sweeping body lines.

A four seat sports tourer, the <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>SX</strong></em></span> could be driven with a tonneau over the rear seats.

It is alleged that many Triumphs of this era were unreliable, especially the 2.5 PI (petrol injection) with its fuel injection problems. In Australia, the summer heat caused petrol in the electric fuel pump to vapourise, resulting in frequent breakdowns of the <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">2.5 PI</span> and <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">TR6 </span>models. While the injection system had proved itself in international competition, it did lack altitude compensation for the adjustment of mixture at altitudes greater than 3000 ft (1000 m) above sea level. The key reason for the Lucas system's unpopularity, was that Lucas was not inclined to further develop it on the one hand allied to the unwillingness of Standard-<span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Triumph</span> dealers to attend factory and field-based training courses dedicated to this propulsion method.<br /><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1-2mrTbUnULQ-QEYVCqL1Mb-CujFuby74-6PqamlFqb9QK-ZobdRH292hAOWp6MXzyqjHQIOvFiDJ-kcmSHR0HYzR0Hllgwv5bThE9ajmp96fRqu3zLM7sQxVEf89o_lCHNB7j9YxL3FY/s1600/TriumphSpitfireb.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 164px; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467043110175735218" border="0" alt="Triumph Classic-Cars" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1-2mrTbUnULQ-QEYVCqL1Mb-CujFuby74-6PqamlFqb9QK-ZobdRH292hAOWp6MXzyqjHQIOvFiDJ-kcmSHR0HYzR0Hllgwv5bThE9ajmp96fRqu3zLM7sQxVEf89o_lCHNB7j9YxL3FY/s400/TriumphSpitfireb.jpg" /></a>Picture Of <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Triumph Classic Cars</span><br /></div><br />For most of its time under <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Leyland</span> or BL ownership the <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Triumph</span> marque belonged in the Specialist Division of the company which went under the names of Rover <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Triumph</span> and later Jaguar Rover <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Triumph</span> apart from a brief period in the mid 1970s when all BL's car marques or brands were grouped together under the name of <strong>Leyland Cars</strong>.</div><br /><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><br /><a title="The History Of The Triumph Classic Cars" href="http://triumph-classic-cars.blogspot.com/2010/04/history-of-triumph-classic-cars.html">The History Of The Triumph Classic Cars</a><br /><a title="The Triumph Classic Cars Of The Motor Company" href="http://triumph-classic-cars.blogspot.com/2010/05/triumph-classic-cars-of-motor-company.html">The Triumph Classic Cars Of The Motor Company</a><br /><a title="The History Of The Triumph Classic Cars With Leyland and beyond Parts 2" href="http://triumph-classic-cars.blogspot.com/2010/05/leyland-and-beyond-triumph-classic-cars_15.html">The History Of The Triumph Classic Cars With Leyland and beyond Parts 2</a><br /><a title="The History Of The Triumph Classic Cars with Triumph cars models" href="http://triumph-classic-cars.blogspot.com/2010/05/history-of-triumph-classic-cars-with_20.html">The History Of The Triumph Classic Cars with Triumph cars models</a> </div>Gooharahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16556277773041039361noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4777663803543959062.post-4540089269949309762010-05-07T06:45:00.000-07:002010-09-27T10:57:40.158-07:00Triumph Classic Car (Standard Triumph Sports Cars)<h2 style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">The Triumph Classic Car With The Standard Triumph</span></h2><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheEJ7PEEq-s2XAfrvG35dfXjwnzj2Xe2wEB5kEg_LER4Qya4czRFJoJCoVQBmIb6OfMGK2HWlLe66GvSGWwZdNDYRRst22JvF6KCIzjYhyNsdB7OjXA1CzD1om_ji8szQw-sgheuR75qHK/s1600/1937+Triumph+Dolomite+Roadster.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 237px; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467040038640633650" border="0" alt="Triumph Classic Cars" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheEJ7PEEq-s2XAfrvG35dfXjwnzj2Xe2wEB5kEg_LER4Qya4czRFJoJCoVQBmIb6OfMGK2HWlLe66GvSGWwZdNDYRRst22JvF6KCIzjYhyNsdB7OjXA1CzD1om_ji8szQw-sgheuR75qHK/s400/1937+Triumph+Dolomite+Roadster.jpg" /></a>Picture Of <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Triumph Classic Cars</span><br /></div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">After the war, in 1945 what was left of the <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Triumph Motor Company</span> and the <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Triumph</span> brand name was bought by Standard Motor Company and a subsidiary "<span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Triumph Motor Company</span> (1945) Limited" was formed with production transferred to Standard's factory.
