c1938 16 HP 2-LITRE TRIUMPH DOLOMITE SALOON
Registration No. To be announced
Chassis No. 18/7/1106
Engine No. 5288
Yellow with red leather interior
Right hand drive
The famous Coventry based firm of Triumph Motor Cycle Co first produced a four wheeled car in 1923. From 1933 until 1936 the Gloria models dominated the Triumph range with an extremely wide range, using three different chassis and up to six engines. In 1936 the Gloria range developed into the Dolomite and was available in 1.8-litre four cylinder form or as a 2-litre six cylinder. The Dolomite was very distinctive with its fencer's mask radiator grill and was comprehensively equipped. The handsome looking roadster coupes were regular concours winners. As Triumph went into receivership just prior to World War II these models are extremely rare.
This example whilst being a barn discovery is remarkably intact and any corrosion appears mainly to be surface rust, although woodworm have found their way into the dashboard. Clearly a restoration was underway when the vehicle was laid up and all the bodywork and chassis are in remarkably good condition. Until the vehicle is uncovered from the barn it is unknown how complete the vehicle is, but important items such as the windows appear to be safely wrapped on the rear seat. Features include Jaeger instruments, knock on wheels, sliding roof, split rear window and a wooden steering wheel.
