Triumph Dolomite, 2000, 2500 et Stag : beaux livres - histoire, versions et technique

This engaging book begins with the history of Triumph, its rescue by the Standard Motor Company and the quest to replace the bestselling Herald with a more modern design, including the strong influence of the Italian designer Giovanni Michelotti.

"Triumph 1300 to Dolomite Sprint" covers the full range of models that succeeded the successful Triumph Herald. Starting with the front-wheel drive 1300 and 1500 models, author Kevin Warrington covers the conversion from front to rear-wheel drive, the introduction of the two-door Toledo and four-door Dolomite range and finishes with the range-topping high performance but fragile Dolomite Sprint.

Including coverage of the Dolomite's strong sporting history, and with accompanying period and modern colour photographs, this book provides all the information the enthusiast will need about this remarkable range of mid-range Triumph cars.

A model-by-model history of the popular Triumph Dolomite family, the range of quality sporting saloons that started with the Triumph 1300 and was in production from 1965-80.
The Triumph 1300 was innovative, with front-wheel drive and a four-door body designed by Giovanni Michelotti. In 1970 the Triumph 1500 and the three-door Toledo were introduced, followed by the range-topping Dolomite in 1972, with Triumph's slant-4 overhead cam engine and rear-wheel drive.
The fast Dolomite Sprint confirmed Triumph's position as the British 'BMW Beater' in 1973, with its powerful 16-valve engine and value achieved through clever engineering. In 1976 the whole range was renamed 'Dolomite' - and was a well-rounded model spread of four-door saloons, with engine sizes from 1300cc to 2 litres.

With technical specifications and over 150 colour photographs, "Triumph Dolomite - An Enthusiast's Guide" also includes competition history, the Dolomites' ancestors, and a guide to buying and owning these iconic saloons.

This book covers the full development of the Triumph 2000, from the early Vanguard model to the Mark 2 models. It describes the revolutionary aspects of the engineering, such as the small capacity six cylinder engine and independent suspension as well as the iconic Michelotti design and quality cabin.

The full evolution of the Mark 1 model is described, along with the troublesome petrol injection system, and also the introduction of the Mark 2 version which was to have considerable success as a rally car. The book includes an interview with rally driver Brian Culcheth.

The author also compares and contrasts the Triumph 2000 with its main British competitor, the Rover P6.
The book ends with the takeover by British Leyland and its implications for Triumph.

The Triumph Stag was a two-door, four-seat, luxury touring car, designed to be Triumph's flagship model for the 1970s. Styled by prolific designer Giovanni Michelotti, and engineered by Harry Webster and Spen King, the Stag had no direct competitors throughout its production life and was the blueprint for the many four-seat convertible on the market today. It was in production from 1970 through to 1977, but suffered from a lack of development and gained a reputation for engine problems caused by poor cooling.

This book explores the history, design and development of the car, taking a special look at the Stag's unique Triumph V8 engine - and how Stag owners today have largely solved the cooling problems. It also covers owners's experiences, specialist modifications and improvements, and the car clubs that help the Stag remain one of the most popular classic cars in the UK.
